Adams A1 Bb Trumpet
The Adams A1 (formerly A1v2) Bb Trumpet features an all-new valve block, leadpipe, and bell taper. It's a high-end horn with a rich spectrum of overtones and a brighter-than-center sound profile.
A wonderful all-around trumpet, with a ringing, brilliant sound that really shines in commercial settings. The scale is exceptionally even and the valves are machined to the highest possible standards.
Adams designed the original A1 to be a versatile horn for the crossover player. It was the first trumpet in the Adams line, and it was a fairly traditional setup. Now, the fully redesigned Gen II A1 takes full advantage of 7 years of experience in trumpet design and manufacturing to deliver an amazing upgrade over the original A1.
The new valve block is a two-piece block with nickel balusters to bring crispness to the core of the horn. The valve block has also been designed with ergonomics in mind, creating an instrument that is easy to hold and utilize
The Gen II A1 comes standard with a Saturn water key on the tuning slide. The tuning slide bend and bell bow shape give it a stylish, modern look.
