King Dizzy Gillespie Silver Flair with Upturned Bell

In '53 some one or thing fell on Dizzy's horn bending the bell upward. Playing it that way, Gillespie found he liked the sound and began having his trumpets made that way. It became his trademark. This limited-edition tribute model has the same premium features as the straight Dizzy Gillespie model but with the upturned bell he made famous and an engraved Dizzy portrait with signature on the bell.. Key of Bb. .462" bore, one-piece yellow brass bell, Monel pistons, first slide saddle, third slide ring, silver-plated finish. Includes 3C mouthpiece and deluxe leather case.
