Adams
Description

Designed for players who want projection, control and a vibrant core, the Adams AT46 Artist series professional Bb trumpet combines handmade craftsmanship with a focused, singing voice. Its .460" large bore delivers a free-blowing feel with strong dynamic range, while a one-piece, hand-hammered yellow brass bell creates rich overtones and immediate response. Paired with a standard taper yellow brass leadpipe, the AT46 maintains stable intonation and a centered tone that can be shaped for orchestral, jazz, commercial or solo work. Stainless steel pistons provide smooth action through fast passages, and the durable silver plate finish keeps the horn looking crisp on stage and in the studio. With a 4.6" bell for bold resonance and a consistent feel across registers, this model rewards players who want both warmth and brilliance in a professional trumpet.

Handmade Bell and Large Bore Design Shape a Responsive Voice

Every AT46 bell is crafted from a single sheet of yellow brass and hand-hammered to build its tonal character. This process helps the horn speak with clarity at soft dynamics and project effortlessly when pushed. The large bore supports full airflow without feeling loose or unfocused, giving players the flexibility to lean into a wide tonal palette—from bright, ringing lead tones to smooth, rounded phrasing. Whether performing concert literature, recording in a studio or playing amplified gigs, the AT46 responds quickly and stays centered.

Precision Hardware Supports Playability and Long-Term Performance

Stainless steel valves provide fast, reliable action for technical work, while a first-slide thumb saddle and third-slide fixed ring offer accurate tuning adjustments under real performance conditions. These ergonomic additions help players dial in intonation confidently, even during extended phrases or demanding repertoire. The AT46 ships with a 7C mouthpiece and soft case, making it ready for rehearsals, travel or daily professional use. Built to withstand regular play, its silver plating offers both visual appeal and lasting protection.
