      We bought a local collector’s estate last week, and got lots of awesome vintage trumpets and cornets. Here’s a link to my blog post for a little taste of what we got - for any questions about these horns and others we may have, feel free to message me here. We ship internationally and offer a 30 day return, so all of our friends here can order with confidence!
      Happy Shopping!

          @Pinstriper They will list as I finish them, but I will do blog posts on some before they list. There are a lot of nice 22Bs of varying age and condition, a handful of 2B and 26B, a few 8B, 80A, and 40B as well as a couple of King Liberty and many others. My own personal 40A will also list soon - I traded it for another horn I liked from this lot. 😊

            I just bought a 2B and I love it! How does it compare with a 22B?

              @administrator I’ll let you know later today, as I’ll have a 2B, an 8B, and a 22B on my bench today 😊

                      Nothing like a vintage horn to brighten one's day. I mean, I love a Brand new trumpet, but a good vintage Conn, Mt. Vernon Bach, York...man, that really gets me excited. I want to start a collection now, haha.

                        I'm curious, how did Quinn get his start? It sounds like a fun thing to do -- buy and sell vintage horns.

                          @administrator Matt got his start flipping horns for a few bucks while doing his undergrad in trombone performance. He kept up the hobby later on, and while working for Microsoft (his PhD is in microbiology)found that the hobby was paying more than the job and started flipping full time! Now it’s a growing company in need of more space, and a fantastic place to work 😊

                              So in response to 2B vs 22B, I guess it really depends on what year the 2B is. Testing a 1926 2B, 1927 2B, 1927 24B, 1941 22B, and 1937 8B back to back, here’s what I found: both 2Bs played evenly from top to bottom and felt very modern. 26B, which is basically a heavier 2B, was not as open in the upper register. 8B intonation and slotting is a bit squirrelly compared to the others, but that horn is also not in quite as playable shape as the others. I do have a later 2B in that bunch that is basically the same as the 8B, so I’ll be interested to see how that one plays. The 22B is quite resonant until it gets in the upper register, where it closes off a bit for me. We have a whole lot more 22Bs in the lot so there will be plenty more coming up! There’s also a couple more 2Bs and 40Bs, and a bunch of Conn and King cornets of different models with their complete kits - too much fun!

                                Thanks! I'm liking my 2B so far. It's a 1927.

                                  In my experience, the earlier 22B years with top-sprung valves are better players than the later bottom-sprung ones. I believe the switchover happened around 1931. I used to own a 1925 22B that looked terrible but played like a very good modern trumpet.
