John Baptiste Pocket Mdl. JB T183 S/n 060-1757

This model is surprisingly free-blowing compared with many inexpensive pocket trumpets. The compact wrap makes it an excellent travel companion while maintaining standard B♭ trumpet fingerings and playing characteristics.

The Jean Baptiste JBPT183  is one of the better-known imported pocket trumpets sold by music retailers in the U.S. While it doesn’t have the collector value of brands like CarolBrass, Schilke, Yamaha, or Bach, a clean, well-playing example is still attractive as a travel horn, practice instrument, or novelty piece.
