Check out this super cool Jerome Callet "Jazz" Gen I trumpet that has recently arrived in the shop!
These horns are a ton of fun and are a fantastic option for the lead and commercial player but are accommodating to most all around players as well. This particular horn comes to us on consignment and looks great but does present some signs of use. There is some scratching around the body of the instrument, notably on the mouthpiece receiver, bell stem and bell flare. There is some plate loss around the body of the horn as well; on the lead pipe, main tuning slide bottom receiver, inner bell flare, and valve block (see pictures). There are also a few small dents on the bell flare and a few barely noticeable pings on the 1st slide and bell bend. Beyond these cosmetic blemishes this horn still has lots of life in it and is a wonderful player! The valves move smoothly and have good compression with a thicker valve oil such as berp 3. The slides move comfortably as well!
From Jerome Callet:
"The original Callet "Jazz" is one of the trumpets that set the standard for modern super horns. Beautiful sound in any register, great intonation, response, exceptional projection. Upper register response and slotting to handle modern trumpet literature with ease. Finding it's way into every music venue. While hugely popular among lead and commercial trumpeters it also found its way into Symphony Orchestras and everywhere in between."
"Originally introduced around 1990 featuring the EXPANDABORE principle where the reversed lead pipe venturi began at .*353* at the receiver end and then gradually expands to .450 at the beginning of the main tuning slide. Then continues to .460 at the tapered tuning crook. The expansion continues around the curve of the main tuning slide to its final size of .470 going into the third piston.
Thus creating a true conical bore trumpet. Which makes the Jazz play and respond like a cornet or a smaller bore trumpet. All the while retaining the volume and projection for which Callet trumpets are famous. If your desire in a trumpet is one which can express your musical ideas softly with dark lyrical sound when that is your wish, yet can provide power and projection when your performance demands it. Then the Jazz might be for you."
