Up for sale is a working, fully serviced Rudy Muck Trumpet. The serial number is 34700 and I am unaware of the model. I believe that this is a Citizen or blessed model, but could be an academy. I am not an expert, and left the refurb of this instrument to local musicians and craftsman.
The trumpet was serviced by a local company called Poplars and was restored to full working order with receipts to verify.
The case was fully refurbished and cleaned by a local leather company. The inside of the case was cleaned and sanitized, however the outside had to be repaired and recovered. The hardware was replaced with hardware and locks of the time, and the original hardware will come with the trumpet.
Overall condition of this item is good. There are a couple of spots smaller than a dime that have come off, and there are very small dents in places. Outside of that, this still shines and plays well.
If you have any questions, or feel like adding any information to this. Please let me know. I will post all information that I can get to the description. And will entertain any reasonable offers. I am unsure of the value of this trumpet, so please let me know.
The serial number is 34700 and best I can tell is it is from the 50's, and poplars music said the estimate to be around 1500 with a restored case and original mouthpiece.
The mouthpiece that comes with this is the original (or is believed to be so from poplar), and is slightly bent. This was done intentionally to suit the individual musicians style of playing.
Shipping will be insured and will be used by the shipper of my choice. It will be well wrapped, as an instrument of this quality and condition should be.
