I am new on this forum. I wanted to ask if anyone has any information on how I can search the Hadyn HTR 335 S/N listing? I cannot find anything on the web regarding this trumpet. My wife purchased it a number of years ago and I recently pulled it out and started playing it. It is in excellent condition.

Thanks for your help.

"Haydn" is probably a stencil brand; that is, some music store or other client entity paid a trumpet manufacturer to produce a run of trumpets stamped with a brand made up by the client. Usually, stencil horns are based on low end or medium-priced models within the manufacturer's line. Unless you can find out the actual manufacturer, and their own serial number sequencing includes their stencil horns, you are most likely out of luck.

Many 'stencil' type instruments have their various parts very similar (or identical) to the parts of well-known and recognized brands. If you can put a picture online of the trumpet, it's likely that you'll get suggestions about its actual maker.

Some of the 'parts' that are usually recognized are:
Shape of the mouthpiece receiver.
Shape of the finger hook on the leadpipe.
Shape of thumb hook on the 1st valve.
Shape of 3rd valve ring, and any mechanisms.
Shape of water keys.
Shape of the various braces.
Shape of the valve casings.
Shape of the valve caps - top and bottom.

Most Important Note ? - the next one !
KNOW (see) what the next note is BEFORE you have to play it.
PLAY the next note 'on time' and 'in rhythm'.
Oh ya, watch the conductor - they set what is 'on time'.
