Trent literally begged Adams to sell us this trumpet to offer to our customers through the shop (after Trent got to play on it for a while, of course!).
This horn is not new. This horn was previously owned by the late, great Joey D! This was a custom horn that Miel Adams made for Joey. The horn has some wear and tear given that it was performed on. There's evidence of some bell crease removal that is hard to photograph but present. There's some signs of testing of course. That being said this horn was so challenging for Adams to make I'm doubtful another one will be made like this so grab it while you have the chance!
There's also some minor wear inside of the bell, a few tiny pings here and there, and some other slight cosmetic blemishes. Trent is very happy to keep this horn here at the store to show off the exquisite custom work Adams Brass can offer. Therefore this horn is not available for mail trials as well. If you want to fly into the KC airport we'd be more than happy to pick you up at MCI and take you here!
This does have Joey's name engraved on the tuning slide leg (see photos)
This trumpet would make a great addition to any serious trumpet collection. The hand engraving is absolutely stunning, and of course as a player you will "Experience the Sound of Quality" as with every Adams instrument!
