RareProfessional Arioso Super Trumpet - Bb - by Joseph Lidl

The Lidl website says -

The company Josef Lidl was created already 1892 and is the oldest music instrument manufacturer in Maehren ( Czech Republic ). All sheet metal wind instruments manufactured after developed technology, which is superior to other manufacturers by over 100-yaers tradition and experience. All instruments are handmade and are characterised by outstanding pure sound, excellent tendency and light speech.

This instrument has a Bohemian or French rim and has other interesting features. It has a reverse leadpipe, and is a large bore instrument. It plays very well. Valves and slides operate as they should.

It is raw brass with patina, but has some nickel trimWhat\'s in the name?

Wikipedia says - \"Though originally a vocal form, the termariosowas extended to instrumental compositions of the same melodic character, the same way the termsariaandrecitativewere used in the case of theinstrumental ariaandinstrumental recitative.One of the most famous instrumental ariosos [\"Arioso from Cantata No. 156\"] was composed by J.S. Bach.I speculate that the name is a not too subtle allusion to the tonal qualities thought suitable.

If you look at hornucopia [ ] you will see a photograph of an Arioso [not an Arioso Super, as this is]
Highly collectible.
Comes with a serviceable but non-original hard case and a Bach mouthpiece
