I have a selection of horns for sale! Some of them have been listed before, but several have not. I have all these horns at home in Norway, but I can probably arrange for shipping from within the EU. I will consider trades. Here we go:
1. 1937 New York Bach Stradivarius 7-53: #7 leadpipe, #7 bell, .453" bore. Complete overhaul including valve work and lacquer. Clear, mellow, soft sounding, good for classical/allround playing. 1800.
2. 1937 New York Bach Stradivarius 10-53: Charlie Melk leadpipe (gives it a bigger feel), #10 bell, .453" bore. Complete overhaul by Charlie Melk + local Bach specialist - the valves look like NEW and the horn is bursting with compression! Clear and bright sounding, good for classical/allround but also great for more lead/salsa type things. 2000.
3. 1947 Olds Super: Lightweight but incredibly powerful, dark, full of core. Great jazz/big band horn, but also very effective for church playing etc because it is extremely dynamic. Made in the best Olds period, the Los Angeles period. 800.
4. 1950 Olds Special: The lowest professional Olds model, but described as better than my Yamaha 8310Z by my teacher. Also dark sounding and with a great core, just not as open as the Olds Super. Have used it a lot for jazz. 400.
5. Ca 1950 Besson Brevet้e Flugelhorn: A legend... Very good condition, barely any lacquer wear and only a couple of very small dents, nothing that affects playing at all. Valves are fast and the horn is a very easy player. Has the classical French small bore sound. Compared to some Couesnon's I've had, it is lighter sounding and an easier player. 800.
6. 2002 Amrein Meister Serie Piccolo: A top professional German piccolo trumpet. I have so little experience playing piccolo I cannot say too much about its characteristics unfortunately. It has some wear, but technically it is in great condition with lots of compression. New price: 3400. 1900.
7. 2001 Yamaha YTR-6810S Piccolo: One of the most popular professional piccolo trumpets. Excellent condition both cosmetically and technically, original case. 1100.
