To celebrate the fifth anniversary of the Adams trumpet line, Adams created an extremely limited edition anniversary model A4 trumpet. This trumpet is one of only FIVE in the world, gold plated and intricately hand engraved.
Trent literally begged Adams to sell us this trumpet to offer to our customers through the shop (after Trent got to play on it for a while, of course!).
Please note:
This horn is not new. It's been a trade show demo for a few shows and because T loved how this horn played so much he asked the folks at Adams to sell it to him. The horn has some wear. Some gold plating loss throughout (very minor, mostly on the top fingerbuttons):
There's also some minor wear inside of the bell, a few tiny pings here and there, and some other slight cosmetic blemishes. Trent is very happy to keep this horn in the collection and also here at the store to show off the exquisite custom work Adams Brass can offer. Therefore this horn is not available for mail trials as well. If you want to fly into the KC airport we'd be more than happy to pick you up at MCI and take you here!
Here's the basic description of the A4:
ADAMS A4 TRUMPET
The A4 is one of the most popular models in the Adams trumpet line. This horn is a result of extensive collaborative design work with Adams Performing Artist Amik Guerra. A heavyweight trumpet with a 5.5-inch one-piece bell and a heavy chassis, the A4 is an ideal choice for the soloist looking for an extremely rich, warm, fluid, and thick sounding horn. One of the things we stress about this instrument is its versatility: it will work in many different musical environments because of the wonderful coloring and richness of the sound.
This trumpet would make a great addition to any serious trumpet collection. The hand engraving is absolutely stunning, and of course as a player you will "Experience the Sound of Quality" as with every Adams instrument! The trumpet is lightly used and has some initial signs of use, but it's in great condition with no dents or dings; we have reduced the price accordingly.
Due to the limited quantity of these trumpets that were produced, it's unlikely that you will have another opportunity to purchase one. Don't miss out on this rare beauty!
