      Looking to identify a serial number on a valve block to the brand of trumpet it came off- it's just the casings, everything else is custom rebuilt- and the casings really look like Bach. I'm just trying to avoid getting measurements (maybe for MAW drop ins):

      Serial Number: H40562

      PS: I'd post a pic of the fantastic horn Scott Kelch built around it (Getzen Severinsen/Blackburn parts except the block), but I can't figure out how to do it.

      1954 Connstellation 28b
      SK Brass Mayhem (Getzen Severinsen with a Blackburn 20 pipe, reversed pipe, custom D slide, Super Artist valves, KGU heavy trim, 37 tuning bell)
      Warburton 1MD and 2MD, ACB A1 backbore
      Custom ACB 14a, ACB A1 backbore

        I answered my own question. I'm pretty sure the block is off a Fred Gretsch Imperial, which was a .460 version of the Blessing Super Artist. I was surprised, because sometimes Blessing doesn't have a stellar rep. Of course the valves were completely rebuilt and aligned, and fitted with heavy springs and guides. But, they're really good.

          Here's how I post photos on TrumpetBoards:

          1. Make sure there's a photo on the hard drive, whether in Pictures or Downloads.

          2. Use https://fileminimizer-pictures.en.softonic.com/download to compress the file.

          3. Click on the Upload Image icon (second from the right above the message body in Reply on TrumpetBoards).

          4. , Select the FILEminimizer version of the image.

          5. Click Open (my example result below).
