This is a 2003 Flip Oakes Wild Thing Bb trumpet.  .470  Large bore with optional slide and custom Walt Johnson case.  Excellent condition.  All slides are smooth and valves are excellent.  Very low miles on this horn.  Lacquer is in very good condition with one wear spot on the third valve slide where the left hand touches.  A little wear on the finger buttons and bottom caps, but other than this, the horn is like new. 

The bell is one of the most significant features of this horn. It is open wrapped, hand hammered, one piece with a very large throat with a 5" flare which helps to produce it's large "Wild Thing" sound.  The horn also comes with two distinctly different tuning slides.

Each tuning slide is stamped #1 and #2 for easy identification.
The #1 tuning slide is cylindrical, with a .470" bore for the biggest and most open sound.
The #2 tuning slide is conical starting at .460" bore and opens to .470" bore, which adds just the right amount of resistance to produce a warm full tone.
