"This is the flagship model in our range of trumpets. Huge sound, flexibility, super wide dynamic range and such a cool look. Its an ML bore horn that is Brand new Taylor Chicago Standard in matte lacquer. Bell is scratch brushed underneath the matte lacquer. This stunning horn is a heavy beast with a huge bell and extra large bore. It has a smooth, creamy, enormous sound that will delight balladeers and soloists. The red brass bell gives you even more warmth, and the valves move extremely fast with a slightly short throw. Comes with mp and leather gig bag." The benchmark for what could be referred to as the heavy horn brigade. It has the same internal tapers as the Chicago Lite so it is a comfortable easy responsive blow just like the Lite. Unlike some trumpets purporting to be heavyweigh.
