In creating the first Giardinelli trumpet, their goal was simple - to offer the best possible instrument at the lowest possible price. They also wanted to make a big splash. Working with a leading European manufacturer, Giardinelli has developed a horn that more than meets those goals -- a professional-quality horn for a student-level price! Every trumpeter who has played the new GTR 512 has absolutely loved it. It is a responsive, free-blowing horn with excellent tone. Impeccably crafted throughout, it features a .460" bore, rose brass lead pipe and slide crooks, hand-lapped stainless steel pistons, and a 4.9" plasma-welded bell. Available in 3 finishes.
Features:
.460 bore
