Nikkan trumpet's masterpiece "TR-232". Japan Vintage

★Downsizing Vintage Collection★

This is a NIKKAN TR-232.
This model was the basis for the export model Yamaha YTR-232.
It is also a sister model to the earlier NIKKAN Imperial. (Those interested in this listing likely know the rarity of this model and require no further explanation.)
(Areas where my face was reflected in the photos have been whitened out.)

◆Reference◆
TR-1 (later Imperial)
TR-2 (later TR-231, a lower-priced model of the TR-1)
TR-3 (later TR-232, further evolved into the YTR-232)

Both the pistons and all slides are smooth.
There are stains on the lacquer base due to age-related deterioration, as shown in the photos. There are also dents, as shown in the photos.

It shares many similarities with the NIKKAN Imperial and is solidly built.
The piston guides are made of metal.

While I also own an Imperial, if the Imperial's playing feel is like Bach, the TR-232 has the image of Yamaha. This makes sense given its later evolution into the YTR-232 by Yamaha.

A NIKKAN TR1 mouthpiece is included.

The case is a NIKKAN case, but it is old and should be considered for transport purposes only.

Due to its high rarity as a vintage instrument, the price reflects this.
I hope it will be purchased by someone who understands its value.
