DESCRIPTION

The Holton Collegiate trumpet, introduced in 1930, was designed as a durable, affordable instrument for student musicians! This 1967 model reflects decades of trusted craftsmanship, featuring a slim body, angled second valve, and unique top-sprung piston system ideal for beginners. Though it lacks modern student features like a first valve saddle or third slide ring, its extended third slide supports intonation in the lower register. Known for its rich, bright tone and sturdy build, the Collegiate remains a respected choice in American band history.

This trumpet has been adjusted for General Playing Conditions and includes the original hard-shell case and mouthpiece. Some minor dings and surface wear are present, but overall, it's a great option for students, marching band players, or collectors.
