Make sure you get your lip in the best possible shape during your summer hols with John Packer's brilliant pocket trumpet..

Pocket trumpet
 

The hot days of Summer are fast approaching and the holiday season is just around the corner, but before your thoughts drift off to those lazy afternoons sat in the sun on the beach, why not make sure you keep your lip in tip top shape too?

Pocket trumpet

The clever chaps at John Packer Ltd have the answer with this specially designed pocket trumpet called a JP159.

Essentially it is a Bb trumpet which is wrapped up extremely small measuring only 230mm in length which can be stowed away in your luggage without taking up valuable clothes space.

Colours

The JP159 comes in a range of wonderful colours to match your new Summer outfits too — Red/Blue/Green/Black/Silver plate or lacquer, for only £146 (inc vat), which includes a mouthpiece and an easy to carry case.
