{"product_id":"u_15","title":"Used Artley 15-P Metal Piccolo - With Hardshell Case","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Artley 15-P is a vintage metal piccolo dating to approximately 1956, manufactured in Elkhart, Indiana during Artley's original Elkhart production era. Serial number 292XX places this example among the earlier generation of Artley instruments, produced before the company's later acquisitions and changes in manufacturing locations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a dependable student-to-intermediate instrument, the 15-P was built to serve as a practical ensemble workhorse. Its silver-plated metal construction provides durability and contributes to the bright, clear, projecting tone the model is known for. The traditional two-piece design pairs a separate headjoint with a body section carrying the keywork, and when properly adjusted and padded the 15-P offers solid response and projection for concert band, school ensemble, and general performance work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis particular piccolo has been kept in reasonable shape over the many years of its existence. There are a few feather scratches, but no dings, pings, or dents, and our technician has adjusted it for general playing conditions. As with any vintage woodwind, pad condition, adjustment, and regulation remain important factors in response and performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eElkhart heritage, mid-century American construction, and a bright projecting voice make this a genuinely interesting choice for a player who wants a vintage instrument with a real place in the history of American band-instrument manufacturing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Artley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48939400364150,"sku":"109423","price":695.77,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0683\/5742\/3222\/files\/img_05c6b9f1ead5.png?v=1790962862","url":"https:\/\/www.georgesmusic.com\/products\/u_15","provider":"George's Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
