There is a crack repair made with a patch on the lower part of the mouthpipe and on the second slide. Additionally, there are small scratches and areas where the lacquer has worn off.

Before it is an instrument for producing sound, this silhouette itself evokes a scene from jazz history. It is truly a special model.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp data-start=\"282\" data-end=\"410\"\u003e The appeal of this model cannot be measured by practicality or versatility alone.\u003cbr data-start=\"309\" data-end=\"312\"\u003e The up-bell design itself exists somewhat outside the realm of conventional wisdom, yet possesses a power to captivate the moment you see it, transcending logic. Its appearance seems to embody the flamboyance, humor, and aesthetic sensibility of Dizzy Gillespie.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp data-start=\"412\" data-end=\"704\"\u003e That said, this instrument is not defined solely by its visual impact.\u003cbr data-start=\"449\" data-end=\"452\"\u003e The Committee model itself—designated Bass—is a trumpet that offers a high degree of freedom and strongly reflects the player’s individuality. By combining this with the .445-inch small bore (#1) featured in this instrument (Recruit), a balance is achieved between the open, expansive sound characteristic of the up-bell and the instrument’s controllability. Furthermore, the detachable bell structure, unique to the Martin version, is a major feature.Unlike the one-piece up-bells on the King and Silky models that Gillespie used in his later years, this design suggests that the up-bell—a special component—was still being approached with a certain degree of rationality.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp data-start=\"706\" data-end=\"810\"\u003e This Committe possesses a charm that cannot be fully captured by specifications or rationality alone.\u003cbr data-start=\"745\" data-end=\"748\"\u003e The playing feel, the design, the background—all of it connects to the very essence of Dizzy. It is an extremely impressive model, deeply imbued with that atmosphere.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp data-start=\"812\" data-end=\"863\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003eThat 45-degree angle—an impact etched into jazz history.\u003cbr data-start=\"221\" data-end=\"224\"\u003e This special Committee conveys that romance to the present day.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Martin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50077602709741,"sku":"105013","price":594000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0608\/1321\/3933\/files\/A_DSC4369_2d2b6b73-07d0-40bc-b339-1545885fc602.jpg?v=1780800189","url":"https:\/\/tcgakki.com\/en\/products\/martin-committee-2-b-trumpet-1961","provider":"TC楽器 - TCGAKKI","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
