BTR-1580R

The BTR-1580 ranks as Blessings highest achievement thus far on the path to extraordinary pro brass design and performance.  The BTR-1580R is the companion to the BTR-1580 and features a reversed tuning slide. 

The free blowing nature yet tightly slotted and centered intonation deliver vibrations to the one piece hand hammered bell that creates a commercial tone one would only expect from on instrument selling for 2 to 3 times the price.
