Phoenix TR-AL8 Professional Adjustable Leadpipe Bb Trumpet

Compare to => Schilke The Phoenix TR-AL8 is somewhat unique in that if offers an adjustable leadpipe system that helps you adjust to different playing requirements. It comes with 2 changeable leadpipes that swap in/out with a simple loosening / tightening of a crook. If you want to optimize the airflow to be more open for classical or jazz, you would use the more open leadpipe. If you want a brighter sound, you would use the leadpipe that offers a bit more resistance and efficiency. Having this flexibility is like having TWO great playing horns in one. Save yourself $ 1200 vs. the competing model !
