DISC Trevor James Renaissance TJTR8500 Trumpet, Silver Plate

Full Description

Durable Design

The key phrase Trevor James uses often is not a tagline or a slogan but was the design objective for the Trevor James renaissance range of brass instruments. Trevor James has set a new standard in brass manufacture and design, making sure that all instruments are built to perform to the musician's needs. The cupronickel (copper-nickel alloy) slides are a great addition to the instrument due to their corrosion resistant properties. This way the slides will be easy to move, even if left for a long period. The French beading around the bell is a feature usually only found on high-end premium trumpets. French beading allows for greater projection and even greater protection if you use floor stands a lot.

Yellow Brass Bell & Silver Plate

Yellow Brass is commonly used as the base metal for brass instruments. A standard mix of 70 percent copper and 30 percent zinc helps to provide a focused sound with a solid core, produced with very little resistance. The bright silver plate not only looks aesthetically pleasing but will also keep you instrument looking newer for longer.

Everything You Need

The Trevor James trumpet comes with everything you need to get started. A backpack-style case is included for protecting your instrument while travelling. The case features a large side pocket designed to hold all your sheet music. Also included is the Trevor James 7C mouthpiece so you can waste no time getting started with your trumpet.

Renaissance Range

The new renaissance range from Trevor James has set a new standard in brass manufacture. These instruments have been uniquely designed and engineered to integrate perfectly into a British brass band. The renaissance range is ideal for those looking for a step-up from a starter instrument and wanting to progress their playing.
