Reynolds Argenta Trumpet

Description

Reynolds Argenta Trumpet

This Reynolds Argenta Trumpet is a large bore trumpet made of solid nickel silver & was made around 1962. It’s in very good condition & has tight valves giving very good compression. There is even a decent pop on the second valve.
Reynolds Argenta instruments were some of very few band instruments, other than French horns, made completely of solid nickel silver. Nickel silver or German silver is an alloy of copper, zinc and nickel. It is an alloy mix containing 65% copper, 17% zinc and 18% nickel, compared to 80% copper and 20% zinc for standard yellow brass. Nickel silver has similar characteristics to brass, but is harder and stiffer, making it a durable alternative often used on high-wear areas of a horn, including valve casings, hand grips, tuning slides and trim.
