ST550 Trumpet from G. LeBlanc The Holton model ST550 is a student trumpet and was designed in collaboration with trumpet great Maynard Ferguson. Its responsive easy-blowing characteristics, great projection and its large, full tone make it easily mistaken for a professional horn.

The slides are nickel silver outside and brass inside with U-pull on first slide assembly and adjustable stop nut and slide rod on third slide assembly. The finish is clear baked epoxy lacquer and the mouthpiece is a 7C. The trumpet comes in a deluxe wood shell case with dual handles is also available with silver plating called model ST550S.
