The C180SL229CC "Chicago" C Trumpet features a .462" large bore, special 25C mouthpipe based on Vincent Bach's original design, and a lightweight #229 one-piece hand-hammered bell with a classic French bead providing a quick response with outstanding projection and tone. The first valve thumb ring allows for easier tuning adjustment. Narrower braces between bell, valve casing, and leadpipe improve resonance. The silver-plate finish provides a controlled brilliance to the overall sound.
