CHECK OUT THE VINTAGE AD FOR A RECOMMENDATION FROM LEGENDARY TRUMPET PLAYER DEL STAIGERS!Serial number dates to around 1947. This super vintage trumpet is ready to be an everyday player. You'll fall in love with the tone and response of this classic instrument. The valves have excellent plating and compression and are fast and smooth like only an HN White King can be. I've had the chance to restore and play King brass instruments from 1914 till the new ones and they all play great.
The intonation is outstanding and the tone and response is the best you'll play. That being said, the ones from the H. White Company days seem to play the best with the most consistent quality.
When the family still owned the company and their name was on each instrument, uncompromising quality was the most important value. This was stressed by Edna White personally to each and every employee.
I've heard this personally from a family member and also from a former employee, and experienced it first hand having played H. White King instruments since 1963! THE VALVES ARE FAST AND SMOOTH WITH EXCELLENT PLATING AND COMPRESSION.
Includes a mouthpiece and a case. This is not your typical used instrument. It has been taken apart, dents removed, carefully reassembled, highly polished with your choice of custom finishes applied.
It will look and play GREAT! The restoration was done by a respected local shop with over 40 years experience in woodwind and brass instrument restorations and repairs. Some of their employees worked at the H. White and King factories in Cleveland and Eastlake, Ohio.
The craftsman who does their polishing started at the H. White factory in Cleveland in 1957! He may have polished this one when it was new as well! I have personally used this company for over 10 years for my band members and myself. I had this shop overhaul and silver plate my."Baby" - a 1971 Besson euphonium and for me that's like trusting someone to operate on your kid. I've had the horn longer than my kids! It really looks great and actually plays better than when I bought it new in college. AN OUTSTANDING CLASSIC PROFESSIONAL TRUMPET!
A REAL PLAYER - A GREAT COLLECTOR'S ITEM! DON'T LET THIS ONE GET AWAY!! I'm just a retired band director working out of his house. And know it plays the way it should and looks great.
Your satisfaction is important to me. If I do happen to miss something I will make it right. This cornet is guaranteed to be as described. I take great care to make sure you are receiving a good quality instrument and to describe it accurately. If something's not right, I'll make it right.
The pictures tell the story. I personally play everything I sell, so there's nothing to worry about. I'm a band director and professional musician playing tuba to trumpet and everything in between. If I wouldn't have it in my house, I won't send it to yours! I've just collected too many instruments and other "horn stuff", between the community band that I direct plus 3 others I play in - yes, I'm a little crazy! And 2 kids that played in band in school. It's time to "thin the herd", so I'll be listing some more instruments and "horn stuff" soon. Thanks to all who have bought "stuff from my closet". This item is also for sale locally. MANY THANKS TO ALL MY PAST CUSTOMERS! THANKS AND ENJOY YOUR "NEW" REFURBISHED MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS!
