OQAN OTR-450 - Bb Trumpet with Case and Accessories
The OQAN OTR-450 is a Bb trumpet designed to deliver exceptional sound performance and outstanding durability. It's ideal for both beginning students and amateur musicians seeking a reliable instrument with excellent value. Its meticulous construction and carefully selected materials ensure a comfortable playing experience and a rich, warm sound characteristic of higher-end instruments.
Built with ML (Medium-Large) bore, the OTR-450 achieves a perfect balance between ease of airflow and the ability to project a powerful, controlled volume. This characteristic makes it a highly versatile trumpet, suitable for a wide variety of musical styles, from classical and chamber music to jazz bands and wind ensembles.
The use of gold brass for the bell, leadpipe, and valve slides is not a random choice. This material, with a higher copper content than conventional brass, gives the instrument a noticeably warmer, darker sound with a rich harmonic content. The lacquered finish protects the metal, ensures a long lifespan, and lends it a classic and elegant aesthetic.

Is the OQAN OTR-450 suitable for an absolute beginner?
Yes, it's an excellent choice. Its ML bore facilitates sound production and its tuning is stable. Furthermore, it includes all the necessary accessories so a beginner can start playing and caring for their instrument immediately.
What does it mean that the pipe is "ML"?
"ML" stands for Medium-Large. It's a measurement of the inside diameter of the trumpet tubing. This bore is very popular because it offers a good balance: it's narrow enough for beginners to play the instrument easily, but wide enough to produce a full, loud sound.
What maintenance does this trumpet require?
Like any brass instrument, it requires regular maintenance. It is essential to lubricate the valves with the included oil before each use to ensure smooth movement. It is also recommended to clean the inside of the instrument periodically with the cleaning kit to prevent buildup that could affect the sound and hygiene.
