The 18037-G features a #37-G one-piece hand-hammered bell that produces a warm sound with great projection. The #37-G model features a rose gold brass bell, which gives a slightly warmer, darker tone than the standard bell of the #37 model. This trumpet works well in multiple musical settings, from jazz to concert or solo playing, designed for professionals and serious musicians. The #25 leadpipe allows for slight resistance that is effective in centering tone production.
The clear lacquer finish provides a subtle warmth to the overall sound. These features combined with a. 459 medium-large bore allow the player to produce a well-rounded sound well suited for all types of music.
Standard weight rose-gold brass one-piece hand-hammered #37-G bell. 3rd slide finger ring with adjustable rod stop. I have been the sole owner of this trumpet, and I have loved it and taken excellent care of it, with frequent cleaning and wearing cotton gloves during practice sessions. It is in excellent condition, and has a very sweet and clear sound and it projects well. There is some minor wear in the immediate area of the water key.
There is also a tiny dark spot just below the inscription on the bell. Photos of both these areas are attached, so please review them carefully. This instrument includes original case, gold plated Bach mouthpiece 3C, and Gold trim kit installed. The trim kit includes gold heavy valve caps, as well as custom jasper stone finger buttons with gold trim. The gold water key that came with the trim kit has not been installed, although it is included and in the box with all the original trim pieces. It has never been used and it could be installed. If you do not like the Jasper stone finger buttons, I also have a gold trim set for the finger buttons with the original pearl / standard white and they are very easy to switch.The main tuning slide works well, as do the finger slides on the first and third valves. The small slide on the second valve is difficult to move or remove when cleaning. Please view all the photos, as they demonstrate the condition of the trumpet as it has been described, as well as the case and other extras. Feel free to contact me with any questions.
