A super rare find! This original trumpet outfit is complete with trumpet, case, aluminum mute, and 2 Nikkan mouthpieces!  The beautiful gold finish horn has elaborate scroll work down the bell and has 'U' braces between the horn and leadpipe, consistent with american models from the 1930-40's.  The case is also period correct for this timeframe, there is no serial number but I am guessing this is a pre WWII instrument.  The only markings I can find are the matching numbers 12, 13, 14 stamped on the upper part of the valve casing, on the valves and on the valve stems. The valves are brass and show no sign of ever being plated. The horn has some typical dings from age and use and a drop dent at the rear of the bow that I do not have to tools to reach. Nikkan is the precursor to Nippan Gakki, who was acquired by YAMAHA

Own this historic instrument today for less than what a new student horn costs!

Why buy a REFURBISHED Instrument on EBAY?  Do you want to deal with a dirty instrument with stuck or damaged slides or valves?  A "used" or "preowned" instrument may cost much more to get back to playing condition

THIS INSTRUMENT IS SOLD AS-IS with no return, please look at all the pic's and ask questions before bidding or purchasing please.

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.
