Bore Size 0,459 inch / 11,67 mm. Bell Size 4,887 inch / 12, 41 cm. Antoine Courtois is the Brand in France the most famous. Of all the Brass Manufacturers for both XIXth & beginning of XXth Century. In 1881, the Courtois Company was running with 25 workers only. But among the skillest for a Production which was always perfect. On the Bell the following text is engraved. Facteur du Conservatoire National. 88, rue des Marais St Martin. Grande Médaille d’Or. It is easy to date the cornet because the mention. Médaille d’Or Paris. Appears on the Courtois instruments in 1878 and after. This Courtois cornet has some scratches and use tracks. Little dents or dings. This Instrument is in a nice condition. All the slides are removeable. The brass Pistons Valves were reloaded, re plated sometime ago. In order to get a perfect compression. A great “pop” sound. When we remove a piston slide. The pistons system is a 3-spikes one instead of 2, as usual. This device lets to get a perfect alignment of the piston inside its tube. The cornet has a very good sound. I have not the original leadpipes. Corresponding at this cornet. So this excellent instrument. Will have to be bought by a collector. In pocession of Courtois cornet models of this period and leadpipes. Supplied with 2 vintage Courtois. I join in the case some different leadpipes of the 19th Century. But they are not the original leadpipes as. Parcel will be carefully packed – Sent promptly Registered. Parcel will be carefully packed – Sent promptly.
