Our high B♭/A trumpet rounds off our trumpet range on the high-pitch end. The highest-pitched type of trumpet, it is expected to boast brilliant sound, precise intonation and easy response, all of which, once again, we have been able to incorporate into our instrument. Our selection of leadpipes and bells satisfies a variety of requirements in terms of tone.
