This trumpet is sold

Up for sale is a rare, and even rarer now that Kanstul has shut down, Flip Oakes C trumpet. The Flip Oakes C trumpet is built from the parts of the famous Wild Thing, the valve block, bell, leadpipe, etc. It is such a free-blowing and powerful trumpet! It brighter than the WT Bb, no doubt due to it being a C trumpet and that is their nature it blends well with the Bach and Yamahas on my section, though with the FO C trumpet I can project a lot better than them. The bore size, like the WT is .470. However, with the leadpipe I feel it has enough resistance that it is the perfect balance between sheer power and staying power. Even with a normal throat and backbore I don't feel that I'm held back at all. Intonation wise the E and Eb are very good, much better than other C's I've tried. Like all the other trumpet Flip puts out, it has a valve alignment and checked for quality. Honestly it is at the very least one of the best trumpets I've ever played! Unfortunately I don't have need for a C trumpet these days and I cannot justify having it around unplayed. I'm asking for 1700 + 35 shipping (Add 3.5% if not F&F), a bargain compared to new. (If Flip has any left in stock!) Please let me know if you want any pictures or have any questions at all!

The trumpet is sold

Up for sale is a Courtois Evolution 4 trumpet in mint condition. The Courtois Evolution 4 model was meant to be an all around playing model. I personally play it in Wind Ensemble and Symphonic Orchestra and it fits beautifully! It's a horn that really complements your palette. However, based on its nimbleness and its brilliant core, it would fit well for jazz as well. The Gap adjuster is also extremely helpful! Being able to adjust your mouthpiece gap without getting something like Reeves sleeves is great. As you cans see from the pictures, the silver plate is impeccable. Intonation is quite on spot, as expected as a top of the line professional trumpet that Courtois made it to be. I'm asking for 1350 + 30 shipping. It will be shipped encased in bubble wrap, so that there zero movement while being shipped. Please feel free to contact me with any questions! Attached below are some sample audio clips from others playing the Evo 4.
