$ale Very Rare Vintage French Besson C Trumpet Large Bore Silver Plated
TRUMPET IS ORIGINALLY SILVER PLATED AND LARGE BORE. Bell flare is 4.75. Majority of American brands trumpets are pattered after French design including Bach, Benge, Calicchio etc.. This is a truly legendary brand and a horn hard to find in the key of C! SERIAL RANGE IS #102xxx. Bell letters are very sharp and easy to see and read. Trumpet is ready to play upon receipt. It is in great shape considering age and it appears it didn’t see that much action. Horn has minor wear / not much around valve section more like a tarnish wear and a bit near 3rd slide ring. Everything operates smoothly and valves are great. There may have been a couple of minor dings fixed on the leadpipe before my time as I can see but nothing major and leadpipe is clean. Overall silver plating is in great shape could use a bit of polishing but not necessary. This trumpet plays great and has a very sweet sound through the ranges. If I would be playing C trumpet on the daily basis I would never sell this horn but i mostly play Bb trumpet and a flugelhorn and much more jazz than classical. I hope this horn will find a good home and end up in the player hands and / or collector / player. As condition tells me that this horn was not that much played over it’s lifetime and it really deserves to be played. As photos show all slides are coming out and valve pistons are in great shape. Compression is very good. PLEASE SEE ALL PHOTOS. DON’T MISS OUT ON THIS VINTAGE AND RARE SPECIMEN! Horn is offered with no case and no mouthpiece. It’s been play tested and is ready. Please check out my other listings as I offer vintage trumpet cases as well. No PO Box as I don’t use postal service. This item is in the category “Musical Instruments & Gear\Brass\Trumpets”. The seller is “hotdeal1smoko” and is located in this country: US. This item can be shipped to United States, Canada.
