Relisted due to points redemption. This is a trumpet, a "Liberation" model, manufactured 100 years ago by the American company Frank Holton & Co., which I acquired here about a year ago for just under 40,000 yen. It was used in symphony orchestras, and there are even signature models for trumpet players. It has a stylish appearance and beautiful engravings. I'm moving and no longer have a place to play the trumpet, so it's been left unused. I'm listing it in hopes that a collector or trumpet player will cherish it. The specifications are brass with silver plating, and the inside of the bell is gold-plated. (The gold plating is thin and not very visible.) The tuning slide is reverse. It's a low-pitch model. The key can be switched between B♭ and A. You switch it by sliding the tuning slide as shown in photo 4. Regarding the condition, the slides are not stuck and move smoothly. Of course, it can produce sound properly. The high range hits well. However, there are signs of plating wear and rust, as well as dents and filled holes. Also, there is no finger hook. Looking at documents from the time, it seems that both models with and without finger hooks were produced, and I couldn't determine which model this is. I suspect that the plating on the part where the finger hook attaches may have come off, but it was not present when I acquired it. In addition, a part of the tuning slide is chipped. (Image 11) Finally, there is a smell typical of old brass instruments. Therefore, please consider it on the premise that cleaning and adjustment will be required. The included accessories are a Boosy & Hawkes trumpet case that I won at auction specifically for this instrument. However, it is also in poor condition, so please consider it only for protecting the instrument. This is a rare instrument that is not often seen in Japan. Why not add it to your collection or as your beloved instrument?
