|
|
Hey All,
I don't even know where to begin.
My Dad left me an UNBELIEVABLE collection of working horns (trumpets and cornets...handful of sax).
There is wear on quite a few (as expected), but everyone that I have had come over is amazed with the valves and playability.
Strads, Committees, Naked Ladys, Selmers, Olds Records...lot of other olds, Bessons, Boston Music, gazillion Conns....on and on and on and on.
The cool thing is that I have finally started playing trumpet (ironically after my Dad's passing...) and I am loving it! I have more options that anyone in the US, but I was drawn to an LA Olds Ambassador. It has beautiful red/browning, and plays amazing (valves, comperession, etc).
Anyone have an idea where I even begin? I'm thinking one at a time.
It will take years to get to zero. _________________ Dad...what were you thinking with all of these vintage horns? |

Yes, patience is going to be the key. I helped a widow friend move her late husband's collection last summer. Take your time, take multiple good pictures of each instrument. If you cannot identify the make/model, post the pictures here in the Horns Forum and the participants will help. You should be able to come up with reasonable pricing through searching similar horns on Reverb and the TH Marketplace. _________________ Kanstul F Besson International 800 Bb

Hey WxJeff....many thanks.
The good thing is that this went from a daunting task that looked like work....to a passion in its infancy.
I've been bitten by the trumpet bug. I could play Mt Vernons, but have found an LA Ambassador that I've made my own.
What fun!!!!

Thank you so much! I've started looking for a good, used Eb/D, so this list will definitely come in handy. |
