Check out this latest consignment we accepted. One of many items from an estate of a reknown recording / touring musician with an impressive history. There’s over a dozen trumpets and at least 100 mouthpieces we will be offering. This very rare Viking VTS60 trumpet dates back c. 2010 or a bit earlier or later. The dark Copper finish has a few small spots of loss. Elaborate engraving on bell. All the valves and slides function properly. This trumpet wasn’t played much as Bill had another identical seen in the posted video in silver which shows heavy playing wear which will be listed at a later date. There’s virtually no info we could find online about. Viking Musical Instruments LLC. Other than they made saxophones that command premium prices. Family expressed Bill received two prototypes to take a test drive and review. I surmise Viking were considering branching out which was never realized as they closed their doors in 2017. This explains why the trumpets can’t be found for sale. With certainty only a small batch were produced so here’s your chance add one of the rare trumpets to your collection! For Bill to choose a Viking in the video over other finer trumpets he owned is a testament to the Vikings tone and response. It could be a long time before another surfaces. Out of respect for family and friends privacy of his recent passing. I’m excluding Bill’s last name but can easily be discovered in the video link. The Trumpet he is playing in the video is a silver Viking VTS60. His solo starts at the 7:00 minute mark. Some of the many artists with whom Bill performed or recorded include: Bobby Caldwell, Michael McDonald, Tower of Power, Robben Ford, The Temptations, Ben E. King, Bob James, Celine Dion, The Four Tops, Sister Sledge, James Taylor, Michael Bolton, Paul Schaffer, Spyro Gyra, Will Lee, The Spinners and Phoebe Snow.
