Hi, it says. together with the popular trompeter Malto Burba they build a Pocket Trumpet that has the same size bell and measurement as a regular Bb Trumpet. So you can use it as that.

Weight, lenght size, valve material, bore, bell & tubing material, finish material, horn condition, year made, price, case, etc.?

Thanks,

Joe B.
