It is a rare model, no longer in production, that reflects the design philosophy of Mr. Haito, who earned the deep trust of many professional musicians as a trumpet developer and technician.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp data-start=\"230\" data-end=\"322\"\u003e When the T103 was first released, it was introduced as a large-bore model to differentiate it from its sibling, the T102. However, it was later changed to an ML bore to better suit the physical capabilities and playing comfort of Japanese musicians. This particular instrument is also an ML bore model.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp data-start=\"324\" data-end=\"415\"\u003e It offers just the right amount of resistance, making it easy to control the sound, yet the airflow is very smooth. It provides a playing feel similar to a large bore—expansive and free-flowing—while producing a sound that remains full and rich, never thinning out.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp data-start=\"417\" data-end=\"509\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e The intonation is stable, making it suitable for a wide range of settings, from concert bands and ensembles to big bands. With a well-balanced combination of brightness, richness, and playability, this is an all-around instrument that excels in any genre.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Holton","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50075350696173,"sku":"34081","price":137500.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0608\/1321\/3933\/files\/A_DSC4406_b7fe3a12-d27d-48c4-9c32-100eaba049c9.jpg?v=1780733221","url":"https:\/\/tcgakki.com\/en\/products\/holton-holtonusa-gt-103s-b-trumpet-2","provider":"TC楽器 - TCGAKKI","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
