KING CLEVELAND SUPERIOR TRUMPET
These old horns really produce the sound, They're free blowing and responsive. The tone is rich, bright, yet mellow. The valves design is top notch. The "Superior" is the predecessor to the King 600. Built by H.N White, this label vanished in 64. The "Cleveland" Label lived on to 74'. This model is a 61', in very good shape. The Cleveland brand was a starting point label for King Band Instruments, which was owned by H.N. White. It was really just like the king, minus a few frills like nickel tubing inserts. Nothing that would diminish the sound or playability. These old models just flat out play and sound better than the newer ones, which are built by UMI Steinway.

YAMAHA TRUMPET YTR 2320
This durable instrument has a professional style bell and bore size that makes this the ideal model for students. It has honed pistons which means no air leakage, pressure-formed tubing for smooth air flow, and a laser-fused pluzuma welded bell allowing for even vibrations. The YTR's are reliable horns that blow open and free. The responsiveness is excellent. This one is like new, untouched. Buy it here. http://cgi.ebay.com/Yamaha-Trumpet-YTY-2320-oh-my-shes-mint-/280504711378?cmd=ViewItem&pt=Brass_Instruments&hash=item414f6238d2#ht_500wt_968

KING 601 TRUMPET
The King 601 is like the 600 except, except for the additional 1rst slide ring. The king brand is part of the UMI/ Steinway family now. But these horns produce a warm mellow sound. They blow open and free... very responsive. The valves have always been one of their strong points. The skin thickness is a little lighter than the others major brands... which gives it a tad more brilliance, which I love. The finishes have always held up well..... they're are simply beautiful. This model is for sale here .
