Adams C1 Trumpet
The Adams C1 trumpet was designed for the orchestral and classical soloist in mind. The C1 is slightly tighter and brighter than the C2 with a fairly directional sound shape. Wonderful projection and accuracy through an orchestra with ample core.
The C1 selected model has an XL bore which provides even more richness, tonal colors, extreme dynamic control and projection.
