Eclipse Retro-Balanced
Bb medium-large-bore trumpet · custom · current
A balanced-model Bb trumpet built as the maker’s homage to the Olds Recording - not a copy, which he says would be crazy to attempt, but his own version. Rich and smooth with a warmth to the sound, while keeping the response Eclipse trumpets are known for.
