Data on early Buescher instrument serial numbers is somewhat sketchy. With good valves, this could qualify as a peashooter; but it is nothing really special, nothing like the later Aristocrat series. I have a similar one which I got for $ 150.

RE: For the European Members
@administrator Winter is certainly a good time both for Vienna and Prague. And if you are here in December or January, you might even add Munich to your programme, including an opera in Munich - my wife is singing Marcellina in Le Nozze di Figaro, and I can certainly wangle tickets for that.

RE: For the European Members
@administrator I've been living in Vienna for the last 15 years, so pretty close to Prague... the language is somewhat tricky for adult beginners because it has some sounds not to be found in any other language... cost of living is nicely low for Austrian incomes, but fairly expensive at Czech levels... why don't you come over to Vienna for a fortnight or so, and explore the Czech republic from here? Good train and motorway connections from Vienna...!

RE: Finally, I amd playing a Conn Trumpet again
@dave-hughes I sincerely hope you don't enjoy that Conn trumpet like GeorgeB - sadly, he passed away a few days ago, at a ripe age. He will be sorely missed. RIP

RE: Finally, I amd playing a Conn Trumpet again
GeorgeB is still very much a member of this community, even if he sadly passed away recently. To get a reply "into the grave" is quite a feat! RIP, George - you will be missed.
To avoid awkward situations like this, I am locking this thread.

RE: New to this board
Welcome to TB! I admire your indomitable spirit, and your unquenchable thirst for music. Feel free to ask any question you might want answered, even if the question sounds stupid to your ears - there is a saying in Vienna, "You can only get cleverer by asking stupid questions."
As to holding the instrument: ErgoBrass have a very nice contraption that might suit your needs. -
RE: RIP GeorgeB
A sad day for all of us. But sadness will pass, when we all meet again for the Holy TrumpetBoards Orchestra!! RIP.
If we can in any way assist or support his family, please let us know. -
RE: Help me identify this Trumpet: Ciicel Consul
Amati - conglomerate name for a series of small workshops working as a Soviet style company in Socialist Czechoslovakia. Operating under this name from about 1955 onwards, simply continuing to produce whatever instruments the previous companies (like Bohland & Fuchs) had been making since before the War. In the period between the end of WWII and 1955 (or so), some of these small companies simply resumed whatever production they could with the materials and workers available. Usually, these instruments are built like tanks (because you can't produce delicate instruments if your precision tools have been looted by the Red Army - sorry, they called it War Reparations). And development of new things being generally frowned upon in the Eastern Bloc (except arms!), when amalgamated into Amati, they just continued with what they had been doing, without proper quality control or much interest in same, things going from bad to worse. Thus, if you find an instrument that was later marketed as Amati, it is very likely better instrument if it does not bear the Amati brand.

RE: Help me identify this Trumpet: Ciicel Consul
Welcome to TB, Leonardo! The trumpet on the pics has some rather intriguing features - a pinky hook reminding me of early Selmers, but of some Markneukirchen instruments as well, and the octagonal valve caps bring to mind some Buescher instruments as well as the Art Déco instruments of Arigra and the like.
It certainly is neither of these.
You might look up the brand name in www.horn-u-copia.net.
But it is my opinion (fwiw) that it is some sort of stencil instrument and possibly somewhere in the intermediate class - if you are lucky. -
RE: Hello! Welcome to TB, who are you?
@ladonna2 Welcome at TrumpetBoards! We will endeavour to make a musical home for you here. Ask any question you might have (within reason), and have fun playing trumpet!

Need transposed parts for Brahms 4!
Once again, I am calling for this wonderful community to assist me... only a few minutes ago, I got a phone call that I am needed for one of the trumpet seats for an orchestra workshop in Pistoia (Tuscany - Italy) in two and a half weeks. Sheet music only provided there, and in original pitch (E). Not a transposition I want to try out while sight reading. So if anyone has the trumpet parts in either Bb or C - big pleeeeze!!

BITBURG - European Folklore Festival 2023
Once upon a time, there was a Welsh brass band called Coronation Brass... originally convened to play a contest in Malta. Since then, much of beer was drunk, and every year this band convened to play one of the biggest folk music and dance festivals in the German brewery town of Bitburg. It's this time of the year again - calling for CORNETS! It's a fun event, lots of playing, no rehearsals, lots of food and drink and merriment... Participants are supposed to arrive on Friday, 7 July, and continue playing and having fun until the Tuesday morning... *** hotel accommodation (B&B) at a total of around € 200, lots of free drinks and free meals. Contact me or Nick Jones at Coronation Brass on FB.
