The 1s7 Calicchio Trumpet is a culmination of Domenick Calicchio's lifetime work. Each one is based on the exact dimensions of the trumpets Domenick personally made and are built using old world techniques on specified materials.
This trumpet is our most popular all around trumpet. The sound is alive and rich, suitable for most situations. The lightning quick response, even registers and clean note slots are characteristic of only the finest instruments. Ideal model for working professional and/or accomplished student.

Pros:
Great sound, Responsive, easy to play, versatile horn
Cons:
had problem with sticking valve
Bought a used 1S7 and found it was a fun and versatile horn to play. This was a Hollywood made horn - 75th anniversary addition. 2'nd Valve stuck a little bit. However, after working with it for a while it stopped sticking. A very nice horn.

Cons:
ALOT OF HYPE - NO COLOR TO ITS SOUND
I REMEMBER WE HAD A LOCAL MUSIC STORE GOING OUT OF BUSINESS AND THEY HAD ONE OF THESE CLEARANCED FOR $1250.00 IN SILVER WITH REGULAR RETAIL OF $2300.00 - I JUMPED AT A CHANCE TO TRY IT OUT AS I WANTED IT - IT LOOKED COOL AND HAD A NEAT SOUNDING NAME AND A REPUTATION BEHIND IT - I PLAYED IT NEXT TO MY BACH STRAD 37 SLIVER HORN AND WAS NOT IMPRESSED - ITS SOUND HAD NO RING , OR CORE TO IT , THE VALVES WERE NOT EFFORTLESS BUT FELT SLOW , THE FEEL OF IT WAS LIGHT AND ALMOST CHEAP - I GLADLY HANDED IT BACK AND SAID THANKS BUT NO THANKS - EVEN THOUGH IT WAS A KILLER DEAL IT WAS NOT GOING TO IMPROVE ME AS A PLAYER IN ANY WAY SO I DID NOT WASTE MY MONEY - THIS IS A TRUE STORY -

Pros:
Powerful, brilliant sound with excellent control
Cons:
a pinch too wide on the sound
Mine is one of the last 50 or so that Domenick personally made and it's definitely special. The bell produces a powerful sound with a zip and core that production bells can't compete with. Very even and balanced to A above high C with excellent intonation throughout. The horn is a work of art.

Pros:
Effortless tone production
Cons:
If you play long, hard hours in trios like I do in New Orleans, you will welcome the effortless, quick response. It will extend my career.
