Another trumpet from the EMO stable .As mentioned in other blurb this instrument is similar to the Selmer balanced action which Ernst Modle had a hand in developing. It is a really great trumpet which I wouldn’t mind keeping. It can be played exceedingly loud and is good in the upper registers. The thing is a quality build and the blow is a bit like my Taylor Chicago. Humph used to endorse these and Louis played an EMO very similar on his Australian tour
