I play trumpet and cornet with a municipal brass band still. I play Eb cornet in one of the bands I participate in, and Bb cornet in a municipal band. I have played since 1960 or so. I taught band for a while, and have played and collected cornets and trumpets all these years.

My little devil is not included! The Stomvi is one of the best copies of the legendary Schilke P5-4 piccolo trumpet.

This trumpet comes with both the Bb and A leadpipe both cornet shank, but the Schilke cornet shank won't seat in either unless you put a little paper around the shank tip. The Stomvi Elite Pic will also take a standard Schilke P5-4 leadpipe as well.

This Stomvi pic comes with Bb and A leadpipe (factory) original Stomvi mouthpiece, case, the fourth valve regular fourth length, and major 2nd length slide to go from A to G, or I suppose from Bb to Ab, if you want?? Simply by pulling the other valve slides and holding the fourth valve down while you play and extra factory felts and valve guides. This instrument is in very fine condition, no dents or scratching.

I had my tech go through it and check the alignment. It plays very well in both Bb and A. I have played both this Elite and another against the P5-4 and the differences are not so good. In fact, I had a Professor with PhD in trumpet play it and he clearly preferred the Stomvi. The case is the original Stomvi rigid foam case with accessories.

The original Stomvi 7E 12 is included. I have collected, repaired, and played trumpets for over 48 years.

As a knowledgeable and experienced amateur, I have a lower cost of operation than a commercial enterprise, and can keep my costs low. I have thoroughly inspected this instrument, replaced the felts and corks and aligned the valves as needed, and made sure that it plays properly, and has proper tone for your beginner. I have cleaned the instrument thoroughly, polished all slides to prevent corrosion from locking the slides and valves, and properly lubricated the instrument with high quality lubricant. Many teachers do have preferences, and this can affect a student's progress.

I will, however, flatly state that many of the "bargain basement" new instruments from the unknown manufacturers (even when they are branded, you may not know who made them) are inferior. Parts for repair, or even the repairs themselves are not available, due to odd pieces, or inferior materials. Internal dimensions and correct alloys are critical on all musical instruments.

A shiny (or odd colored) instrument with inferior playing qualities will soon discourage even the most eager student. THIS DESCRIPTION IS AS ACCURATE AS POSSIBLE. THE INSTRUMENT WILL BE PROPERLY PACKED, AND INSURED FOR THE SALE PRICE. Other locations please contact me. I WILL NOT insure this instrument for less than the sale price.
