The A4-LT is the lightweight version of the popular A4 model, combining the free response and big, focussed sound of the original with a weight-saving design. A lighter mouthpiece receiver, bracing, valve section, and a smaller diameter bell with a French bead give the A4-LT an agile, open feel while maintaining a solid core and confident tone.
This versatile model is designed to excel both as a powerful lead trumpet — delivering brilliant projection and clarity in the upper register — and as a responsive solo instrument, offering expressive nuance and freedom across all dynamics. Whether you’re driving a section or stepping out front, the A4-LT gives you the flexibility and control to play at your best.
