Jean Baptiste Trumpet
The Jean Baptiste TP483 Student Trumpet is one of the most feature-rich student trumpets on the market, sharing many of the same technical characteristics and tonal qualities as professional trumpets. Beginners are more likely to continue on with an instrument when they start with a well made, reliable one. The Jean Baptiste TP483 Student Trumpet is the perfect first step in any trumpet player’s journey. The TP483LE’s body is constructed of yellow brass, while its outer tuning slide is made of nickel silver for added strength and durability. Unlike other trumpets in its price class, the TP483 features a gold brass bell (5-inch) and lead pipe for a warmer sound than the traditional student trumpet, and is finished in a lacquer to show the beauty of these contrasting brasses. It also has three monel-plated valves for excellent durability and slotting–the same valves you’ll find on many pro-level trumpets. The TP483 is also available in a beautiful silver plate finish. In addition, the trumpet features beautiful engraving on its bell.
