Musical Notes
What’s on My Bench? A 1976 Schilke B3
This horn came to us with some bell damage, but other than that all it needed was a clean and polish.
What’s on My Bench? A 1911 Conn New Invention Circus Bore Cornet
Someone paid extra for this little beauty back when it was new - it has gold plated buttons and caps, ferrules, pull knobs and water key assemblies!
What’s on My Bench? A Pair of Beautiful Conn 80A Cornets
These Conn 80A cornets are a lot of fun - great players, and can go from a super dark and velvety sound to bright and trumpet-like depending on your choice of mouthpiece.
What’s on My Bench? A 1915 King Master Model Cornet
This horn is a real beauty, and came to us from a recent estate buy. It cleaned up better than expected, and is quite the player, too!
Recently, I had a chance to do an overhaul on a Conn 28M. Conn is such an interesting company to me, particularly in how they designed their saxophones.
The Soprano Trombone/ Slide Trumpet / Mini Trombone
Every now and again, we receive an item in at the shop that just completely stumps me. (HEY! I'm looking at YOU, soprano trombone!)
What’s on My Bench? A Bach Mt. Vernon Model 8 Trombone
Hey, Brass Fans! We’ve had lots and lots of cool horns in the shop lately, but here’s one you won’t see every day, and it’s in really nice shape. Serial number puts this one at 1955.
What’s on My Bench? A Whole Collection of Vintage Trumpets!!!
We recently bought another estate collection of 78 vintage trumpets, so I have been super busy sorting, cleaning, and getting these awesome old guys ready for their new homes! Some of them don’t need much more than a clean and polish.
What’s on My Bench? A Modular Edwards Trumpet
Edwards is a division of the Getzen company that’s known for its high-end trumpets and trombones, and offers quite a large variety of options for their instruments.
