The Jean Baptiste 483LE trumpet offers a well-balanced introduction to brass performance, delivering the essential qualities that student players need with a touch of intermediate-level refinement. Its yellow brass body is paired with a rose brass bell and leadpipe, enhancing both the visual appeal and tonal warmth. A medium-large bore size (.460") promotes easy airflow, making it especially welcoming for beginners mastering breath control and articulation.
Designed for student use, the 483LE is equipped with durable monel-plated pistons, a first-valve saddle, and a third-valve ring for fine-tuning intonation during play. This particular model, serial number 06155XX, was manufactured in China approximately 10 years ago and shows only light cosmetic wear—minor feather scratches from normal use. It has been fully serviced by our woodwind and brass technician and is ready for general playing conditions.
The trumpet comes complete with a 7C mouthpiece and a lightweight backpack-style case, making it a convenient and budget-friendly solution for students and school band participants. Whether you're stepping into your first lesson or preparing for the marching field, the Jean Baptiste 483LE is a smart, reliable choice.
