Bass SARV Trumpet in Bb c.1885 This beautiful Bb side action
rotary valve trumpet (unmarked) was made in Europe late
19th century. I found it hanging on the wall of a
colleague's home in Clippan, Sweden in 1984. He was an Eb
Tenor horn player in the Muscat Brass. It took some heavy persueding,
but he finally let me buy it. It was cleaned up and un-dented in 1999
and the true beauty of the instrument then became apparent. The
valves, valve caps mechanical linkage and other trim is in German
silver, The valves work easily and the horn has a great brassy
trombone sound. There is no water key.
