Perform Confidently with Magnificent Metals
The Blessing BTR1460S is a terrific horn for students, professionals, and musicians in between. This trumpet features a brilliant combination of high-quality metals: a standard rose brass leadpipe provides crucial wind resistance, a yellow brass bell adds tonal depth, and striking silver plating brings everything together to form one cohesive, sophisticated horn. Additionally, a mid-size, 0.460-inch bore complements its bell and optimizes airflow. Lastly, when you play the BTR1460S, you’ll benefit from a reliable and responsive monel valve system — a feature Sweetwater musicians especially appreciate.

Top-notch details make transitioning easy
Switching from a beginner horn to the BTR1460S is like driving a new car — it might feel unfamiliar at first, but you'll quickly realize how much of a difference it makes! The BTR1460S’s 5-inch, yellow brass bell yields a broad, steady sound that grants young players greater control than ever before. A 1st-valve thumb saddle adds stability while you hold your horn, and its 3rd-valve ring trigger makes for easy, spur-of-the-moment tuning so that you will feel confident and in command during big performances.
Monel valves offer superior performance
Made from a durable nickel-copper superalloy, monel pistons are the top performers when it comes to corrosion-resistant valve systems. Each of the BTR1460’s pistons are expertly crafted to move in a uniform manner, wearing as evenly as possible over time. Its monel valves are also capped with plastic buttons for improved finger control and a classic trumpet look.
