Adams A8 Bb Trumpet - Satin Lacquered

Get Bold Sound and Striking Style with the Adams A8 Bb Trumpet - Satin Lacquered

Standing out where others disappear into the masses: the Adams A8 trumpet. Contemporary, bold and iconic with model-specific design features and of course, typical Adams sound. The A8 is another large bore trumpet and one of the most interesting designs visually. This horns greatest feature is the heavy threaded integral mouthpiece. The threaded receiver makes the instrument extremely efficient and centered. The A8 is also available with a fully ‘ergonomic’ valve cluster.
