From Van in NY state ( we can't tell you where but maybe you'll get luck too and find similar deals at local sales in your neighborhood ) "You asked for pictures of my trumpet SN-230951. I hope this helps. Obtained at a yard sale for $20.00. WOW what a deal. I have played trumpet for years in symphony orchestras and bands."
 


Jim Richardson's 7M

Jim writes to us about his 7M:  7M Trumpet Balanced Serial Number 622787. Bought new by me in 1960 in Belfast for a sum of £69.00 if my memory serves me correctly. Completely refurbished about 15 years ago for £150.00. Still used as my practice instrument on a daily basis. It has a great valve action and plays as well as when I bought it. It is one of the best trumpets I have ever owned and can easily hold its own with the Besson New Creation or the Bach Stradivarius.  We got a photo!
 


Silver-plated and Engraved Citation

Tom Olson sent us these pictures of his Citation, serial 1128.  He says, "It was a gift from a friend of mine who is a professional musician in Madison, WI and also creates reconditioned valve trombones. His name is Bob Ramsdell."  This horn is beautiful!

Stephen Hemple's Academy , 5C Cornet and 4M

Stephen says in his email with pictures:  Academy trumpet purchased from USA - just had it overhauled and lacquered and it plays good - not quite as well as say the Olds Ambassador but still a respectable student horn.  Also a 5c cornet awaiting restoration, European made for John E Dallas the UK distributor.  Finally a 4m [balanced model I presume] again made for Dallas which seems very French, a lot of similar work to Selmer, Courtois, etc

Peter Millar's 7M Trumpet

Peter says:  "The instrument is fitted with a 13c mouthpiece and is in very nice condition and I have owned it since 1961 when I bought it second hand in Glasgow. Unfortunately I am no longer able to play it, due to asthma, but I occasionally allow other players to use it so that I can hear it's lovely tone again. Needless to say they appreciate the opportunity to play such a fine instrument."

David Carter sends photos of Silver-plated 7M

We received an email from David Carter who says,

"Hello I just came across your site and have read through most of it's content. I have a 7M (Serial no. 3567) which I bought in the early 1970's. I had it restored and re-plated in about 1976, but was never really happy with the quality of the work. Although I don't play it now, I'm interested in finding out a little more about it's history and also wondering whether to have it more professionally restored. Any advice and information would be very welcome. If you would like some photographs of it, I'd be happy to send some.

Regards, David Carter"

Tim had this to say about his Rudy

These are photos of a restored Rudy Mück trumpet bought in Easton, PA in 1948.  There is no model name listed on the horn, just the “USA Map” logo and “New York, USA” below the map.  The serial number is 1xxx and it originally cost $250, plus an additional $50 for the case. 

This was my dad’s trumpet in high school (East Stroudsburg High School) and has seen much use (and some unintentional abuse) by many family trumpeters over the past 59 years.  It’s been overhauled three times and is now in a state of semi-retirement, occupying a place of honor on the instrument wall in my home office.  I still play it several times a year as I believe that the soul of an instrument will continue to live as long as it’s lovingly played.

What a wonderful tribute!
