Features include a 5" (127mm) bell, a .460" (11.68mm) bore, a 21 1/4" (540mm) length, a weight of 2 lbs. 10 oz. (1.19 kg), a 3C mouthpiece and a GigPac travel case. The instrument comes in lacquer or silver finish. The Bb trumpet has a 1st slide U-hook and a 3rd slide ring. The M2000 series has an “all note tuning” trigger mechanism. The Dynasty USA design team headed by Wayne Downey with assistance from Jeff Kievet has crafted clear, responsive and easy blowing horns. Stronger, thicker bracing provides for a solid, quality-feel and sound and the hand-lapped valves provide a tight fit within the casing for smooth air flow, smooth action and to improve the response and intonation of the instrument.

Pros:
Firm, strong upper range, sizzling jazzy sound in low and mid range
Cons:
Not as open as my Kanstul Coliseum
I played the .468 bore Dynasty trumpet with a Monette B6 and BL2. This thing plays like the dream. It has all the positive aspects of my Kanstul Col 103 but it's not as open, but with the extra resistance is a bit more security. Sllotting's way tighter than on my Kanstul but felt a bit stuffy, so it's a trade off between clean attacks and fat, round upper register sound. If I had the cash I'd buy both, they're around the same price anyways.
