 |
|
I have an instrument made by H. N. White, engraved "Cleveland Musical Instrument Company".
The serial number is "C-20xxx"
I looked it up at
http://www.hnwhite.com/Serial%20Numbers.htm
and at
http://www.hnwhite.com/Cleveland%20instruments.htm
Neither page shows letter prefixes for serial numbers.
Should I just ignore the "C" prefix?
With Conn one should never ignore a letter prefix.
Mark

Cleveland Band Instruments was incorporated in 1919 by Jas. Sistek Sr. and several partners. (He ran a Cleveland music store and made his own trumpets, later stenciling for many years). It was sold to HN White in 1925, and White added a "C" ahead of the serial numbers to keep the records straight. American Standard was a brand name of Cleveland pre-merger. The Depression forced consolidation with the King plant. The Greyhounds were late-20's/30s peashooter siblings to the American Standard Student Prince. After the war, the "C" disappeared from Cleveland serials. More info is available at www.hnwhite.com or at www.trumpet-history.com |

I thank you with sincerest thanks.
I am half blind, so it is very difficult for me to read long paragraphs.
I have trouble moving my sight right to left and just one line down to continue reading within a paragraph.
Enlarging the text with my computer helps a little bit.
I am 99 percent sure that I read the beginning and the end of that paragraph recently, but I was unable to read the middle of the paragraph.
So I really do appreciate your answer for me.
Mark
