Seller: o_ratle ✉️ (765) 100%, Location: Bristol, GB, Ships to: GB & many other countries, Item: 116118542308 Eclipse trumpet - raw brass - reversed leadpipe - MR bell - ML bore. This listing is for an Eclipse trumpet, made in the UK. You can find more information about Eclipse instruments at https://www.eclipseinstruments.com This particular item has the following characteristics:
  • Reversed leadpipe
  • Red brass medium-size bell
  • Medium-large bore
  • Leadpipe number 40 (60 being the biggest, this is the second biggest one in the series. It feels very free-blowing)
  • Finished in raw brass
  • Bauerfeind valves (the smoothest/best valves I have ever experienced)
This instrument is in absolutely formidable condition, with no dings or dents whatsoever. I would describe it as being 'immaculate', but the finish is in raw brass, and that will always look a bit rough. It has been well-maintained, oiled and greased with ultra-pure products. You will receive an instrument that is clean and ready to play, and where nothing is stuck, as you can see from the pictures.  I have owned this trumpet as part of my collection for a few years, and for a while, it was the trumpet that ended the trumpet safari. You may ask why am I selling this wonderful instrument then? It is a very free-blowing instrument with very little resistance, and comparable to say, a large bore Xeno, rather than a medium-large. Since COVID, I just can't cope anymore with this, and find myself more often than not playing my medium-bore Bobby Shew Z Yamaha, mostly for the reason of economy of efforts than for its tone. I'll be sad to see it go, but this gem deserves to be played. You may have seen this item advertised last month. It was purchased by a very nice buyer, but who felt that this was too tight for him (he really wanted a large bore). I agreed to take it back, and it goes to say that these things are all relative. For me, this trumpet is too free-blowing. It goes without saying you are very welcome to come and try it by yourself.  Collection is possible and welcome in Bristol (Fishponds), near bus routes, and where parking is easy and free. Otherwise it will be shipped via Royal Mail, with full insurance (this costs £18-45, and I do not intend to profit on the shipping cost) I will be including a simple but clean and effective gig bag, mostly for the sake of protecting the instrument during shipping.  I value my 100%-positive feedback, and when problems occur (very rarely), I aim to resolve them promptly and effectively. Please see my feedback; I have sold many expensive trumpets and other brass instruments in the last few years, and buyers appear to have been mostly delighted.  Thank you.
