The design of the PMT-720 is born of vast artist input on similar and preceding models. While complimentary to the essential attributes of its parent horn, the PMT-700, to PMT-720 offers an even balance of resistance and brilliance. At the heart of the design concept is a solid yellow brass valve block that harnesses the fluid dynamic of its monel valves. A one-piece gold brass bell and dual-braced tuning slide pair well together, creating a tone that is brilliant above the staff and warm on the staff, with efficient resistance throughout all registers. The nickel silver outer slides are also a contributor to the overall feel and response in the hands. The PMT-720 is available in three finishes: unlacquered, matte lacquered and silver plate.
