The Cleveland Trumpet

[Richard III]

This just popped up on Ebay:

I don't need another one. It also comes with matching mouthpiece. I don't need another one of those either. I have multiples for trumpet and cornet. Really don't need another one. Really. Great sounding horn. Warm and centered. So easy to play with that mouthpiece. I play the mouthpieces on everything. Somebody buy it and save me from myself.

I agree. It is not a pea-shooter. It has a .458 bore. It has the same bell taper (probably made on the same mandrel) as the Tempo and the Super 20 of the era. I owned one when I was in high school as a marching horn so I didn't have to take my Dad's Super 20 on the field or on parade, reserving the Super 20 for concert band. They played almost identical, with the Cleveland probably having a little lighter tone. If you find a good Cleveland from that era, it plays well enough to gig with. The earlier ones may not have the development as they are from the tooling when H. N. White bought the Cleveland Band Instrument company to have a student line, and the build quality of the later ones (known by the model #600 or 601, dropping the "Cleveland" name) is down. But these '70's horns with the signature rounded corner case with red velvet are good, good horns.

Can you spare the cash?

Buy it. Horn prices aren't going down. Trade or sell it for another horn.
