(930 grams)  Thanks for looking, PAX  p.s., if you need the absolute specs please go to the French Selmer site (www.selmer.fr), skip the intro, and click through the instruments, then brass, to this trumpet and click on the image.  I'd give you the link but it's screwy, and won't get you there for some reason.buy it now free shipping .
