Vintage Calicchio 2L-2 Trumpet
- Serial # 23xx
- ML bore, 2L Bell, 2 leadpipe,
- Dates to the mid 1970's; made by Domenic himself.
Cosmetics: Good overall w/some flaws
- Lacquer has wear. I'd say it's 80% remaining, conservatively.
- One tiny ping
- A dent has been removed from the bell flare at some point, roughly from 12-3 o'clock. It was very well done, though some line-like scarring remains. Please see pics. I polished it up a bit, as it made the marks more easily visible to photograph.
- Valve cluster engraving shows wear from the left hand. (Bore size/brand logo)
Mechanics: Very nice overall
- Valves move well, and show very good compression.
- All slides move smoothly.
All in all, this is a very honest 50 year old horn. While subjective, I'd rate it's playability as extremely versatile for various styles of music. Big, broad, with the ability sizzle brilliantly quite easily.
- Does not come with a case, though I may include one to aid in shipping.
SHIPPING: *FREE* to USA w/USPS or UPS (my choice). International will be calculated at checkout w/USPS Priority International
PAYMENT: PayPal, cash in-person, Ebay payments.
**PLEASE NOTE**: My asking price reflects the EXORBITANT fees that eBay now collects. Ebay also factors in sales tax into their fees, which sellers never even see a penny from. I'd really rather not ask this much, but it seems to be the only way to come out with a fair amount on this platform. With that said, this piece is for sale locally as well for a different (ie:lower) price, so feel free to contact me in regards. I reserve the right to end this auction at any point.
Please feel free to message me with ANY questions or additional picture requests. I am more than happy to help. Come play it if you're in the NYC area. Thanks
