Extremely rare Selmer Paris Radio Improved Grand Prix trumpet from the 1930s. Very few of these trumpets were made. Apparently Selmer made many more Radio Improved Saxophones. From what I can gather, Selmer made a handful of these beautiful trumpets before changing to the much more common Grand Prix style with the angular pinky hook. This one has the underslung third valve ring and original first valve thumb ring for extra tuning capability (also somewhat rare on horns of this era). This is a professional horn with a very nice sound. Slides and valves all work smoothly. No dents, no dings. Silver plate and could use a little polish, but a beautiful trumpet. Louis Armstrong used the balanced action version of this trumpet. Case is in functional condition. Comes with a Gold plated rim Vincent Bach NY Mouthpiece, a 7c mouthpiece, a Lyle mouthpiece and what I believe is a very rare Selmer MA B 3 asymmetrical rim mouthpiece. Also comes with a Humes & Berg straight mute, a Shastock Solotone mute and a Ray Robinson cup mute. This is a 3 DAY SALE. Selmer horns of various types (Trumpets, Cornets, Flugelhorns) have apparently been played by a “Who’s Who” of musicians, including: Clark Terry, Louis Armstrong, Chet Baker, Harry James.

Up for sale is a Selmer Chorus 80J Trumpet in Lacquer Finish. These aren’t made anymore and don’t come up for sale often. Rare ocasion to own a piece of history and one of the greatest trumpets ever made. Selmer quit making these fine horns in 2011. So you can’t get these anymore. These are terrific horns. Serial number is around 91XXX. So it’s one of the last ones Selmer made. Very warm, beautiful sounding horn with smooth and very fast valves. The trumpet is in remarkable condition. Lacquer is 100% and not a dent, ding. One little scratch on the valves casing. Slightly traces of playing. Look at picture N°2. 80J Leadpipe designed specifically for lead jazz playing. Chorus taper gives great focus and projection. The Selmer Chorus 80 J trumpet has been developed in conjunction with international artist Guy Touvron. It has an easy and centered tone production, a good general open feeling, especially in the high register. Designed particularly for jazz and light music, it is also versatile enough for classical trumpet players. No case is included.

1953 vintage Selmer trumpet. In terms of saxophones, the year before Mark 6, the last year of the SBA is an outstanding age. Since it is a very rare and precious instrument, it is rare to see even a ragged thing, but I think that it is unlikely to see something in this good condition in the future. If you are looking for this opportunity, do not miss it. It is a balanced model that is familiar with the use of Louis Armstrong and Harry James, etc. It is ML bore. It seems that Louis Armstrong used a tight bore type of 19A, and Harry James used a wide bore type of 25A. The bell is longer because the valve is located in front of the normal instrument, and it is fascinating just to look at it in combination with the goodness of construction and the fineness of the winding. The arm stretches slightly forward when it is set up, and it is very cool. Most of the lacquer remains, and the remaining rate is about 95%. Both the main body and the case are kept in very good condition, and there is no sticking to each slide. The case has one zipper handle. I value it too much and rarely bring it to the table.
