Piccolo Trumpet, brand is "International Sound", made in China by Jinbao. I paid about $400 for it. Its a knock off of the Scherzer but the bore of the chinese one is 11.5mm compared to 10.4mm for the Scherzer. Its clearly not as good as the Scherzer but the Scherzer costs over $3000.
There are four leadpipes, three short ones for Bb and one longer one for A. The Bb ones are all different tapers. The middle sized one works best, but if you were using a more open mouthpiece you might want the narrower one. It uses trumpet shank mouthpieces. Not sure if it would take Blackburn leadpipes.
Four rotary valves.
Supplied in a handy case, but you can't store it in the case with the A leadpipe fitted, you need to take it out or keep the Bb one in.
