Description
Model Q10RS trumpet features a reverse leadpipe to facilitate response and cushion the blow. Produces a warm, singing sound with marvellous projection. An easy, centred response in all registers. The Q10 bell also helps to maintain its characteristic warmth and focus at louder dynamics, while providing a more veiled sound at lower dynamics. The Q05R reverse leadpipe provides a combination of efficiency and flexibility. Nickel-silver balusters and valve caps add brilliance and character to the sound. This trumpet makes a great choice as an all-around instrument for performance in a wide variety of musical settings.
