WOW! Check out this baby! Absolutely gorgeous Calicchio 1S7 75th anniversary trumpet. This is positively the finest Calicchio trumpet available today anywhere in the world. It has a factory gold plating that is 100%. There is not a single scratch or ding anywhere on the instrument. There has been no repairs of any sort on it. I acquired the horn recently, and I’m guessing that it was rarely if ever used. The 75th anniversary trumpets date to 2003. The instrument plays beautifully in all registers with exceptional intonation. You will not find anything like this anywhere else.
If it’s so great, why am I selling? The truth is that I am an octogenarian trumpeter. My playing years are limited and my output is not as strong as it once was. I really need a very bright horn for the venues that I am playing in. Namely, big bands. My other instrument is a Bach 43*, which is very bright. The Calicchio is more balanced. The price I'm asking is very competitive. There is a silver plated Calicchio being sold right now on Ebay for $6000, and this instrument is in Japan. Gold plating is far more expensive. There is also a gold plated Calicchio trumpet on Reverb for a similar price in Poland. And it's not nearly in this condition.
As far as mechanics, the valves are the smoothest I’ve ever seen. All slides move freely. The horn has two traditional water keys. The horn appears to have been preserved in a museum (which is where it might go eventually!). I am selling the horn with no case and no mouthpiece. If you need a case, I’m happy to toss in a Protec gig bag (pictured) also in brand new condition for a modest cost.
To put your doubts aside, I am happy to communicate with you by email, by phone, and /or by Zoom. Obviously, if I sell here, I don’t have to pay fees, so that’s my incentive. And if you buy here, you don’t pay sales tax.
If you’re interested in a Calicchio don’t let this one get away. You will never find its like again.
