Serial number 292XX places this example among the earlier generation of Artley instruments, built before the company's later acquisitions and changes in manufacturing locations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a dependable student-to-intermediate horn, the 15-P was built to be a practical ensemble workhorse. Its silver-plated metal body is durable and contributes to the bright, clear, projecting tone the model is known for. The traditional two-piece construction pairs a separate headjoint with a keyed body section, and when properly adjusted and padded the 15-P delivers solid response and projection for concert band, school ensemble, and general performance use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis particular piccolo has been kept in reasonable shape over the years. There are a few feather scratches, but no dings, pings, or dents, and our technician has adjusted it for general playing conditions. As with any vintage woodwind, pad condition, adjustment, and regulation all play a role in response and performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhether it's headed for the concert hall or the marching field, this Elkhart-made piccolo has a distinctive place in the history of American band-instrument manufacturing and plenty of playing enjoyment left to offer its next owner.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4 style=\"font-size:1.5em;\"\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Brand: Artley\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Model: 15-P\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Serial Number: 292XX\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Instrument: Piccolo\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Instrument Type: Metal transverse piccolo\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Approximate Production Date: 1956\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Manufactured: Elkhart, Indiana\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Production Era: Mid-1950s\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Construction: Two-piece design\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Finish: Silver plated\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Keys: Silver metal keys\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Design: Separate headjoint and keyed body\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Intended Level: Student to intermediate\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Tonal Character: Bright, clear, and projecting\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(28, 29, 29); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"\u003eShop Adjusted \u0026amp; Ready to Play\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003e*Includes Artley 15-P piccolo, hard-shell case\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eModel# 15-P\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Artley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62790938591313,"sku":"109423","price":695.77,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/8936\/5585\/files\/img_05c6b9f1ead5.png?v=1790962836","url":"https:\/\/www.musiciansbuy.com\/products\/u_15","provider":"MusiciansBuy.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
