OMG!!!!!!    Silver Matte Finish with Engraving.  Now the bad news……………….  What ever lacquer that was on the horn originally is gone.  What you see now is the patina of what was an incredibly beautiful horn.

Still the same great player

Originally sold in Aug 2015 from the HornTraders Quiver, the prodigal sun returns for sale on consignment. You Can’t get these anymore (SHAME on SELMER) Originally selling for over $4000 Selmer quit making these fine horns in 2011. At the time the HornTrader had 5! I still have one and I play it often.  These are terrific horns I have one in my personal quiver and love it especially for small group jazz settings. This one has a Bob Reeves lifetime Valve alignment ($240 Value) . It plays great!   Comes with the Original Bam style Selmer single case with Backpack straps. Lots more pictures upon request.

The Bb trumpet ‘CHORUS 80 J’ has been developed from the original ‘Chorus’ model in conjunction with international artist Guy Touvron. More particularly jazz and light music orientated, its great versatile qualities will also tempt many classical trumpet players. Considerable work has been put into finding a correct leadpipe/bell flare match, by modifications which, though they may seem details, add to the overall quality of this model (oversized bottom valve caps, shifted tuning slide crook). An easy and centered tone production, a good general open feeling, especially in the hight register, and a great flexibility make the ‘CHORUS 80 J’ effective in various music settings. Bore diameter : 11.75 mm Tune to Bb Bell : ‘CHORUS’ type, diameter 12 mm flare, rounded at 124 mm (silver brass 703) Valves : Monel metal Waterkey : traditional system Weight : 1,121 g Finish : Silver Plate Case : Bam Light Series.     More pictures upon request and a video very soon.  Until then here is a video I did on a Chorus 80J in 2013
