Pre-Owned Adams A4-LT Bb Trumpet - Brushed Lacquer
For sale is a gorgeous, Pre-Owned Adams A4-LT Bb Trumpet in a stunning Brushed Lacquer finish. Developed in collaboration with performing artist Amik Guerra, the A4-LT is the lightweight version of the highly popular A4 trumpet. This instrument is in incredible, near-mint condition, showing only a few very small, minor scratches. If you are looking for a boutique, handmade European trumpet that delivers an incredibly rich, warm, and fluid sound without the exhausting mass of a true heavy-wall horn, the A4-LT is a masterpiece of modern brass making.
This is the ultimate horn for the jazz soloist, commercial player, or crossover artist who wants an extremely rich and colorful tone. While the standard A4 is beloved for its thick, smoky sound, some players find it slightly too heavy for long commercial gigs. The A4-LT solves this by pairing that massive sound with weight-saving specifications, making it highly effective for both solo work and screaming lead parts. It offers the depth and warmth of a heavy horn but responds with the free-blowing agility and confidence needed for technical playing in all registers.
The "A4-LT" Advantage
- Boutique Craftsmanship: Adams trumpets are meticulously handmade in the Netherlands. The craftsmanship, from the precision-machined valves to the hand-hammered bell, is absolutely world-class.
- Lightweight Precision: While still a substantial instrument, the A4-LT features a lighter mouthpiece receiver, lighter bracing, and a lightweight valve section compared to the standard A4. This provides a significantly freer blow and faster response.
- Hand-Hammered Bell: This model is equipped with a lighter, one-piece hand-hammered bell measuring 126mm (5 inches) in diameter, complete with a French bead. This gives the sound a beautifully concentrated core with excellent projection.
- Brushed Lacquer Finish: The gorgeous brushed lacquer doesn't just look incredible on stage; many players find that custom finishes contribute to the unique coloring and richness of the instrument's sound.
Condition Report
- Finish: Brushed Lacquer. The finish is in Excellent / Near Mint Condition. It is incredibly clean and gorgeous, with only a few very small, minor scratches from light use.
- Body: Structurally Perfect. There are no dents, dings, or signs of trauma anywhere on the instrument.
- Mechanics: Adams valves are widely considered some of the best in the industry. The top-center sprung stainless steel pistons are lightning-fast and perfectly smooth. Our technicians have fully inspected the horn to ensure it plays flawlessly right out of the case.
