John Packer 'JP254SWS' Piccolo Trumpet | Silver Plate | NEW

The John Packer JP254SWS is a piccolo trumpet designed in collaboration with Smith-Watkins for advanced players who need a reliable, flexible instrument for occasional or semi-regular piccolo trumpet work. It is well suited for orchestral playing, chamber ensembles, solo literature, and other settings where a clear, brilliant piccolo trumpet sound is needed. The JP254SWS includes four interchangeable leadpipes for trumpet and cornet shanks in both Bb and A, allowing players to adjust the setup and response depending on the music and playing situation.

This is a strong choice for advanced trumpet players, teachers, doublers, and performers who need a capable piccolo trumpet without jumping into the highest professional price range. The specially designed main leadpipe and Monel piston valves help support smooth playability, reliable response, and a powerful sound, while the 1st valve slide trigger gives players added tuning flexibility on more challenging lower notes.

New John Packer instruments include a 2-year manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship from the original date of purchase. Warranty claims require proof of purchase and are subject to normal exclusions, including wear and tear, abuse, mishandling, cosmetic/finish issues, and unauthorized repair work.
