Hi,

I have a Carl Fischer "Standard" trumpet, looks to be from the 1920's, says Made in Germany on the reciever. I know fischer imported instruments but I don't know where this came from. Any info on these horns greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hello!

I have a carl fischer senator model. It also says "made in Germany". My particular one is a student model...according to a local pro player....and the way it is made doesn't surprise me. I'm not familiar with your model however.

My understanding is that Buescher was one of two manufacturers. I think "Made in West Germany" (as is on mine) is a good indicator of this.

I hope this helps...

I'm a bit confused about Buescher history. My understanding is that Gus Buescher came here in the 1880's to work for Conn then started his own company in America. I haven't seen anything about Bueschers being made in Germany. You're not the first to say this though so maybe I'm missing something. I've seen a Carl Fischer Senator on Ebay that looked to have been made in the 50's and said "Made in West Germany" on it. Thanks for the reply.

Glad to help.

My information comes in part from an earlier post entitled "stencil horns" or "stencil trumpets". It was started after I made a post about my senator and didn't know what the term meant.
