    Description

    This beautiful Satin Silver Windsor was made by Elkhart Band Instrument Co in Indiana 1937.  This is an early model as the production lasted from 1937 to 1942. The company was acquired by Buescher. The bell has a beautiful gold wash interior and the finish is in remarkable shape for its age.  Matching numbers stamped on the valves and the mouthpiece is stamped "Trumpet" This horn plays and sounds great. Built by craftsmen of a bygone era, own this quality low profile trumpet (~20" long) for less than the price of a STUDENT INSTRUMENT!

    Important!!! AS-IS Condition Vintage & Antique Instruments
    do not have a warranty and though they have been serviced, these vintage instruments can still have minor fit and performance issues after servicing. Vintage and antique horns need to be put back into service with your regular playing after purchase. Many vintage instruments have had solder and other repair work done in the past and many have sat for sometimes decades and even after thorough cleaning, more extended cleaning and fit work may be needed. These instruments I offer on Ebay are refurbished, played for a few minutes to check for performance and problems and then they are shelved until after the horn is purchased or play tested locally. I am not familiar with every horns performance characteristics, bore size or history, but I do learn every day and do my best to offer educated advice.
