#REYNOLDS MEDALIST JAZZ TRUMPET SERIAL NUMBER#
“I have a Besson Brevete by Kanstul…I purchased it in the early 1980's when Zig (Kanstul) worked in his Fullerton manufacturing facility prior to moving to Anaheim…It is serial #4425 revealing that Zig used a (4) digit serial number versus the English ones that used a (6) digit serial number if I am not mistaken…The year, make and model I have is the same year, make and model Wayne (Bergeron) played when he toured and recorded with Maynard (Ferguson).” Besson * Kanstul” Through our research, Here is what an owner of a similar one says about his similar model:

On the 2nd valve beneath the serial number it does say “F. Collector’s item.įrench Besson “Brevete” MADE BY KANSTUL, #4805 (early 1980’s) Silver Another in the same model: "MLP"…”3” Beautiful Silver Plate, not a whole lot of use on this one owner trumpet.
#REYNOLDS MEDALIST JAZZ TRUMPET SERIAL NUMBERS#
We’ve got another one! These serial numbers on these two LA Benge’s we own are very close to each other.

Lead pipe is very straight no dents or dings here. Working with one of the better dent removal technicians on the planet (no we cannot disclose who this, he is already busy enough!) The bell/body brace was resoldered on the bell side, brace off of lead pipe leading to 2nd valve resesoldered excellent work on both! No other dents or dings. Had some dent work done work done on the back of the bell running back, not around the bell flare, and second small slide again both done very well, not quite seamless but close. Much of the lqcquer then is missing on the entire bell, going all the way back around the back bow appears largely down to the bare brass. You might call this a “Player’s Horn” as it does have some significant lacquer wear, perhaps an enterprising young musician marched with it in the school band, the logo is sharp. Lacquered, serviced Solid, original lacquer Elkhart model from the mid 80's. Original case with original Bach New York 7C mpc (worn) $1250.īach Stradivarius Model 37, #186863 (1980) Lacquer No repairs done no dent work, no bell or bow trauma logo is sharp.

Sharp engraving, appears original lacquer. Vernon, says on bell: “Mercedes Model…Vincent Bach Corporation…New York 67 USA”. No bell or pipe trauma that we observe no repairs. We bought this from a well known instrument repair technician in Maryland, who specializes in replating and relacquering services, who replated this instrument and did a fabulous job. Nice example of the valuable, “Early Elkhart” vintage, valued Model 37.
