Greetings - has anyone ever heard of a Rudy Muck Academy cornet? I recently obtained one and it closely resembles his Academy trumpet but, of course, shorter.
I notice too that it looks very much like a Mercury cornet or a Mt. Vernon strad cornet in looks. The Mercury I compared it to was identical, the blocked-off receiver, slide lengths, bell size and valves even looked very close. The only noticeable difference was the lack of a slide ring on the 2nd or 3rd slide which showed up on the Mercury.
It plays well enough but I believe it's due for valve work - airy. Thanks. |
