Boosey and Hawkes Sovereign Cornet. Silver plated. Large bore, I think it is about .464-466". Two triggers. Made in 1979. Boosey and Hawkes "Globe" logo on bell. Many people feel this is the classic version of the Sovereign. Excellent condition. Silver is in excellent shape. There are a couple small dents, and a scratch on the 1st valve casing (the scratch does not affect the valve). The valves are smooth and fast and the triggers work well. This is a great playing cornet with a broad, rich sound that has more "energy" than any other cornet I have tried. I can see why these cornets are so sought after! It is really fun to play. The receiver fits my Bach and Schilke mouthpieces well. Denis Wick mouthpieces have a little "rock" in the receiver, but would work. If I were going to use a Wick mouthpiece with it, I would order one with a larger shank. Original case included, along with some original printed items. No mouthpiece. $1199
Bach Bundy flugelhorn. This flugel has a Cornet/trumpet like design that is different than most flugels. It is an excellent design, and the horn plays very well. The design makes it more solid feeling than most flugels, yet it still sounds like a flugel. The valves work well, and all slides move. It has had a few repairs in the past, but is in excellent playing condition now, and is ready to play. I do not think this model is made any more. A Bach 7 flugel mouthpiece is included, but no case is included. $400
Stock #21. Getzen Eterna E flat cornet. Silver plated. Shepherd's crook. 1st valve trigger. Excellent condition. No case or mouthpiece. Sold
Stock #501. Schilke P5 piccolo trumpet. Silver plated. Extra 3rd valve slide to extend low range. Serial number 344X . Made in 1968. This is a very early Schilke piccolo. According to the Schilke shop card the bore is .454" which would be slightly larger than the P5-4 which is .450". It seems to measure more like .450". Compared to a modern P5-4 the bell is larger and heftier, and has a french bead on the bell rim. The trumpet is in excellent condition. It appears to have had the bell brace resoldered at one point. The bell rim was also repaired at one point ans shows some minor scarring, and the bell rim is very slightly bent. Silver plating in excellent condition. Cornet mouthpiece receiver. No case or mouthpiece. Sold
Stock 33a. 1906 Buescher cornet. I think this was considered one of the "Epoch" models. 3 tuning slides. This model could be played an high or low pitch Bb or A. Very good condition. Silver is in nice shape. Gold wash inside bell. There are a few minor dents, and a couple of the fittings for the tuning slides are missing. The leadpipe has been bent in the past. The valves are worn, but still work well. All slides move. The lower main tuning slide inside tube has a crack at the end of the seam on the end of the tube (see picture). I dont think it is a big problem. Overall ist is in good shape for a 100 year old instrument! The bore measures at about .458". It has a big sound. No case or mouthpiece. Sold
Stock #3a. Yamaha Custom 4 valve piccolo trumpet. Silver plated. Leadpipes for Bb and A. A ring has been added to the 3rd slide. Excellent condition. Some minor silver wear. These are great playing piccolos! Sold

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. Sold
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. Sold
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 #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
