A beautiful trumpet of a bygone era which I believe to be made by Boosey and Hawkes because of its made in England etching. It is engraved with LAFLEUR which would normally indicate a cheap import but this is a quality instrument made by an expert manufacturer. You can see from the fluted valve block, the hexagonal valve tops/bottoms , finger buttons, extravagant designed stays and almost rimless bell, that it would have been very special in its day. I believe it must have been owned by a Pro because it is in super condition with all the slides, valves etc working as they should with good compressions and still gigable today. The original case is still in good condition meaning it has been treasured. The trumpet comes with a second tuning slide insertion but I have not had time to ascertain what key this is supposed to achieve . This is certainly a collectors instrument and I am fascinated by it.
Definitely a one off so not sure where to pitch it
