Too bad.
I might be able to go $50,000.00 on this horn, but that fifty cents is a deal breaker.

Yeah, I don't know if I'd pay that much for an instrument with cork valves. I much prefer metal ones.

Interesting that it "comes with ... a music stand for marching." Must be you carry the stand in one hand and the trumpet in the other while you're marching (and playing?). Wonder if it comes with a plexiglas sheet to hold the music on the stand?

Cork valves give a better sound that metal valves.
It's a more "natural" sound that is very pleasing to
the ear and perfect for lighter works, such as the
'Trumpet Voluntary.'

Corked valves? Must be Sammy Sosa's trumpet...

I have never used any performance enhancing valve oil. Ever. Period. I don't know how to say it any more clearly than that.

"I'm sure you will ask how I tested positive for a banned substance. As I look back, I don't have a specific answer to give."
This is your water key. This is your water key on drugs. Any questions?
Orchestrated?

Just all the orchestral records that were cut before atonalism was ruled illegal

Great amount of research has been involved to design this pocket trumpet in accordance to the preferences of the clarinet players.
Of course, that causes me to wonder why nobody ever asks the opinion of the viola section.

Another steal...$20 for the horn, about $80 for the shipping.
