I bought this trumpet a while back, had it serviced by Mark Metzler.
It has a dual main slide. Bb/A?
any information about this would be appreciated.
Bell engraved with

Is there an Indiana Music Co.? I google it and came up with nothing.
Additionally, the links don't work for me.

Hello all, probably a Stencil instrument.

Wow! My first and second horns came from the Indiana Music Company. The first was a used Conn cornet purchased in 1963, and the second a new Getzen Eterna purchased in 1965 or 1966. The salesman was an Indianapolis free-lance trumpeter named Jim Clark, long deceased. Indiana Music was a huge all-purpose music store in downtown Indy that has been closed, I imagine, for many years. Hadn't thought about them forever...

Bb and C. Probably enough pull on both slide to hit A
