CONGRATULATIONS to Ashton Liming of Prosper High School to be my first student (of many to come) to purchase a Bell Trumpet from Steve Bell.  Ashton sounded amazing on these horns.  These trumpets are the REAL DEAL.  Oh, his trumpet serial number?  10.  Yes, 10.  These trumpets are new and going to make history, Ashton was lucky enough to get one of the first 10.  So, who’s next?
