WERIL REGIUM II PICCOLO TRUMPET, GOLD PLATED on eBay, also, Trumpet, Brass, Musical Instruments (end time 15-Sep-08 16:35:19 BST)

Surely it cant be designed to have the bell point down the way?

Don't worry, Gordon, your vision is OK. It does look bent. It can be designed that way, but it is not quite likely. Above you can see a picture of "normal" weril regium piccolo trumpet:

Its a bit shocking seeing as its a normally well resepcted retailer selling it, who have their own repair shop on the premises.

Re: is it me or does this trumpet look bent?

Notice that they do not have a picture of the other side of the horn. To be bent that far down it is probably creased at the soldered brace on the valve body. I would stay away or at least ask for a GOOD picture and clarification of condition. $2,000.00 seems high for a horn damaged this way. The "Fantastic Price" could dry up when the repair bill hits. Good Luck
