The
makers say
Holton ST550S
MF Maynard Ferguson Admiral trumpet
There was no compromising
on the design of the Holton MF Admiral trumpet . . . only
on its price. In fact, this horn is often mistaken for a professional
model because of its responsive, easy-blowing characteristics
and its large, full tone and great projection. Holton believes
that the student should receive the same quality, control
and playing ease as a professional—but at a student
price.
