Eclipse Celeste Bb Trumpet

Description

This handmade Eclipse Celeste trumpet was produced to order in 2022 but has never been gigged. It has a nickel silver leadpipe, bespoke pinkie ring with 3 alternative positions for the little finger, 2 traditional water keys, 2 tuning slides - braced and un braced, stainless steel valve block by Carol brass, .460 ML bore, lightweight yellow brass bell and finished in bright silver plate.
This is a fantastic instrument and would be advertised “as new” were it not for some superficial scuffing on the inner bell caused I suspect by a trumpet stand. You can see this in the pictures of the bell. Marks disappeared when wiped with a silver cloth and playability is not affected. Comes in a Gard Elite single trumpet gig bag in burgundy leather which is also as new. These retail at Parker’s for £175.
I took this trumpet in part exchange but already have 5 Bb trumpets so have decided to put this up for sale. New, and with VAT added, this trumpet retails at £3800 so without tax still a £3k instrument and rightly so.
Test playing and inspection welcomed in Northampton.
If purchased on line would prefer collection or meet up but will post UK and postage included in asking price.
Thanks for looking.
