This trumpet is in excellent shape! A "demo" with the original mouthpiece still sealed, and its original double case still has the key and factory protective wrap on the handles. An unused Shires care kit (valve oil, slide grease, and polishing cloth) is also included.

Otherwise like-new, we noted one pin-sized silver plating imperfection by the 1st slide hook, and one scratch on the end of the 3rd slide. No other dents, damage, or major signs of use.

The Eastman Ventus series VTR10S model is a precursor to the current Shires Q series Q10S model. The Eastman and Shires companies merged in 2014, with the Ventus name for pro trumpets at regional stores, and the Shires brand for pro trombones. Shortly after in 2016, the Shires Q series line was introduced, replacing all Ventus instruments.
Versus the Q series specs, the Ventus model includes screw-style slide stops on both the 1st and 3rd valve slides, an additional dump slide on the end of the 3rd slide, and a double trumpet case. All considered upgrades by most brands.
