Boston Three Star cornet, 1886. Still plays better than anything else I use.

Johnny-Highnote:
Look for the serial number on your Courtois under the third valve cap. That is where they put it. Check all three in case they are no longer in the proper order.

| 1924 Conn 22B that I really enjoy playing. (Played it on my lunch hour today.) I also have eight trumpets from the 1930s: Conn 10B New Era, Conn 58B New Era, and six King Liberty models. |
