This trumpet was handmade by Kalikio (2nd generation Kalikio). This is the Irma period, which is famous for “must try” and “hit or miss” from people who are looking for a calikio. The worst problem was a defective solder in the piston inner tube, which made certain notes very faint. Fortunately, the overall tone was excellent and the piston was in good condition, so I lent the instrument to a professional studio player I knew and had him fix the parts that were not right at the workshop, so I was able to eliminate the minor problems, including preventive measures. It had originally undergone standard modifications such as the removal of the main pipe post and the change to an amado key, and there were traces of a reed pipe that had been stuffed several millimeters to improve the pitch in the upper register, but for some reason it had a heavy cap that had not been seen in Dominick’s time. (State of the picture). By replacing this with professional input and replacing the top and bottom caps and finger buttons with non-genuine lightweight parts, we feel that the instrument is now as good as Dominique’s standard work. The first generation Dominick’s instruments tended to have a lustrous, yet dry, bright and penetrating sound, but after replacing them with lightweight parts, I feel that this piece has a slightly less dry, glossy, and soft sound, and the rest of the tone is similar to the first generation. The sound of this instrument is similar to that of the first generation, but with a little less dryness and a little more gloss and softness. The sound in the photo is like a calicio and a strado added and divided by 2. It is a 2 bell, 7 lead pipe. As you can see in the photo, the condition is not very beautiful, with rough plating and various repair marks, but there are no dents to be concerned about, no sticking, and the piston and slide are in good condition. The airtightness remains at a sufficient level for this era. It is not a perfect fit, but it comes with these lightweight parts and a genuine prop. International Buyers – Please Note.

Calicchio Hollywood “C” Trumpet rare short bell in very excellent condition with no dents or dings and quick valves. This is a Domenick Calicchio horn made about in the 1980’s in Hollywood, CA. It has a 4 7/8 in. 470 bore and a #10 lead pipe – the last lead pipe developed for trumpets, a very bright sound with exceptional focus and wonderful projection; extremely responsive well suited for loudest playing situations. The bell is marked “U 1″. This horn is 1 1/2 in. Shorter in length than my Bb trumpet making it appear like a regular Bb trumpet but easier to use mutes like Wa, Wa and plunger. A nice ProPac trumpet case is included. I love this trumpet, but no longer have need for it.

Made in Los Angeles (LA), California. Serial #5, xxx; 1s Bell; 7 leadpipe. This horn can SIZZLE. It is VERY responsive, and the color leans brilliant. COSMETICS : Pretty good overall with minor flaws listed below: – Signs of a bell dent removed from the flare. There are faint shadows/lines near the bell rim. A few tiny dings, and a minor dent next to the near Z brace on the bell taper. Plating has some minor pitting in and wear in isolated spots. I’d rate it as 90%+, or better overall. I had a small repair done to an inside port of the first valve. Short story: When I bought it, I had discovered a very small pinhole inside a port; must’ve been poked through w/a brush when cleaning. I had it plugged with solder, and smoothed to perfectly match contour of the port. It’s was expertly done, by a very well regarded shop/tech. If I didn’t mention it, I doubt it would even be discovered. I have pics of the tiny pinhole before the repair, if interested. It is a “nothing-burger” but it is worthy of mention in the interest of honesty. I have used the horn extensively since this repair. It has worked perfectly. (Please see all pics, as I did my best to include close-ups of the areas of flaws). MECHANICS : Very nice overall: – Smooth valves with good compression. All slides move smoothly as well. The horn has been used daily, and is fully gig-ready. It really is an outstanding player. The horn is for sale locally as well, so feel free to contact me in regards. Please feel free to reach out with ANY questions or request any additional pics. If local, come see/play it, as there is no substitute for the in-person experience.

This is an AMAZING Calicchio double trumpet in Bb and Eb. Dominic Calicchio made his name building custom trumpets for the LA studio scene. In addition to his more standard models, he built several one-off trumpets that were made to order. Here we see a one of a kind custom double trumpet. Pitched in the keys of Bb and Eb, this is a true double trumpet with separate slides and bells for each key. The Bb side appears to have a standard Calicchio bell, whereas the Eb side is a smaller, red brass bell. Switching between the two sides is controlled by a thumb trigger. Conditionwise, this horn is very good. While it does show some wear from play everything is in good shape and this horn plays very well on both sides. Valves are fast and tight.
