Some Basic Info 

From Chris D. we received the following information about the progression of instruments that Rudy Mück made or sold.

The first few instruments were made in New York with some New York Bach parts.  These are  usually 3-digit or 4-digit serial numbers.  Then Rudy and Blessing were a part of Carl Fischer so the 5-digit horns are usually either Artist or Super Artist horns.

Next Rudy Mücks  went to England with the Dallas Company.  These look like balanced models and have models like 4M, etc.  Lastly the lower quality Rudy Mück horns with 6 digit numbers were made by a maker in Germany.  The mouthpieces made during that time are the more angular ones.

A year or so ago, we sold a Rudy Mück trumpet which was a 5-digit Blessing look-a-like.  See this page for more about that and other horns Rudy seemed to clone:
