@barliman2001 Thanks!!!

What are the thread size of Blessing scholastic trumpet finger buttons

@administrator So funny, I have 41 years sober.

Would anyone know who does trumpet case restorations?
I have a Martin Imperial Trumpet that came with the original case but the case inside is in terrible shape and I would like to have it refinished.

@barliman2001 Sure go ahead

@administrator I just received the Martin Imperial through the mail, cleaned it all up polished the valves and the valve bodies. Everything works fine, it had been sitting in someone's attic for the 20, 25 years and the owners Father just passed so it was in need of a good service, but all in all in is in very good shape shape with minimal finish loss. Even came with the original case with the Martin badge on it. And surprisingly no musty smell. I was inquiring about Martins quality after the two companies bought out Martin.

Was kinda upset when I bought this Martin Imperial Trumpet according to serial numbers this puts this made in 1964 and Wurlitzer had bought the company. So my question is did Wulitzer make changes to the Imperial to save money or were they still the same quality as when Martin owned the company? Also before Wurlitzer the company was bought out by RMC, did they make any changes to Martin instrument's quality?

I cannot find when this Blessing Artist was made, would appreciate some help if possible. It has a serial number of 453344 which I had to look through a very strong magnifier to read.

@barliman2001 Thank you

What is the difference between the Blessing scholastic trumpet and the Blessing Artist Trumpet? Specifically will the valves interchange?

Giardinelli trumpet rose bell yellowTR16080416 Thinking of buying this trumpet but cannot find what model this is by the numbers showing. Would anyone know information about this trumpet?

You nailed it, USA stamped at the bottom!!!

Thank you

Looking at buying a Conn 22B Trumpet but having trouble telling what model it is. It reads 22B the serial number is 5 542159 can't tell if it's a Victor, New York Symphony, or other. Assuming there is a 5 and a long space to the rest of the serial number it's a later year. But would really like to know what model it is. Would anyone have that information?

Yes it did, I was outbid and lost it, really had my heart set on this one.

Is it worth $150.00 ?
