Stock #23 Yamaha C trumpet. Model YTR-745. Large bore (.463"). Silver plated. Excellent condition. Silver plating is 100%. There is some pitting on the tuning slide near the water key, and the lower pull knob on the 2nd valve slide is slightly dented in, and there are some other very small dents. Valves and slides work well. Overall, excellent condition. This model is very easy to play, with excellent intonation. Large bore and bell. No case or mouthpiece.
Stock #24. Yamaha E flat trumpet. Model YTR-761. Silver plated. Excellent condition. Slides for E flat only (no D slides). No case or mouthpiece.
Stock #25. Bach Stradivarius cornet. Model 37. ML bore. Lacquer. There are a few small dents, and a little pitting on the leadpipe, but overall very good condition. Serial number 609xxx. Not very old... Original case has some scuffs and one of the "feet" is pushed in, but it is still solid and very useable. No mouthpiece.
Stock #103. Scherzer Long Model Piccolo Trumpet. The bell engraving reads: "SCHERZER Augsburg Modell Prof. A. Piechler". Key of B flat. Raw brass. I believe that this trumpet was made in the 60s and is an updated version of the long model Scherzer that Adolf Scherbaum made famous in the 50s with his numerous performances of the second Brandenburg concerto. (If you are not familiar with Mr. Scherbaum, there is an excellent web site about him.) This particular instrument was owned by Mel Broiles, the former Principal trumpet of the Met Orchestra, and was used by him to perform the Brandenburg. This trumpet has a sweet and singing tone, and an easy upper register. The unique feature of this model is the area of "fake" tubing, which makes the trumpet look like a larger horn. The horn comes apart into two pieces (by design) and has the original hard case and cover. No mouthpiece. The receiver fits a trumpet size mouthpiece. The horn is in excellent working order. Sold
Bach Eb/D Long bell Model. XL Bore (.462”). 229G (Gold Brass) bell. Silver plated. Extra slides for key of D. Serial number 422xxx. Excellent condition. Some minor wear to silver, and a few scratches. Valves in excellent condition. This is a great playing Eb trumpet, with a big ringing sound. It feels and sounds much more like a Bach C trumpet than a standard 239 bell Eb. No case or mouthpiece. Sold.
Stock #104. Vintage Martin Committee Model "Deluxe". Serial number 185xxx, made in about 1953. Standard M bore (.453"). This is the "Deluxe" version, with the nickel silver receiver and outer tubing, and floral bell engraving. This trumpet is in excellent condition. No cracks or patches, and no red rot. The trumpet was just sent to Anderson Silver Plating, and the valves were rebuilt. They are smooth and have excellent compression. It is really nice to have a vintage Committe Model with valves like a new horn! This trumpet plays great... no wonder why so many of the jazz greats played Martin Committes. The slides all move, and are well greased. Raw brass. No case or mouthpiece. Sold
Stock #106. Selmer Piccolo trumpet. Serial number 62XXX. Very good condition. Some wear to the original lacquer. This horn has only one leadpipe. It looks like someone shortened the original “A” leadpipe so that it can be used in Bb or A. It actually works quite well. This is a really nice playing Selmer. At one point I had 5 or 6 Selmers, and this was one of the best playing ones. The top “G” really pops out nicely! No case or mouthpiece. Sold.
Stock #107. Selmer G trumpet. Serial number 47XXX. Very good condition. The original lacquer is worn. The 4th valve adds a whole step. It can be held down to turn the trumpet into an F trumpet, or used for many different alternate fingerings. These G trumpets have a great sound, and are really fun to play. No case or mouthpiece. Sold
