Travel back in time with this vintage trumpet. Made by Martin in Elkhart, Indiana, it's a genuine legendary Martin Committee trumpet. From the serial number (154196), I believe it's from 1945, but it could be 1944. With the second valve tuning slide interior diameter of about 0.45", I believe it is a medium bore instrument. It does have ordinary play wear and significant finish wear all over. I just lubed the valves and slides. All the slides and valves move properly. The valves do have some wear, but, really, look pretty good. The slide pull knob on the second valve tuning slide is missing, but the slide can still be properly moved. It is missing the third valve slide ring. It comes in a vintage Bundy trumpet case. Also comes with three mouthpieces (Bach 7C, Karl Fuchs 6, and Holton Heim 2); a Humes & Berg mute (missing its logo sticker); various slide & valve oils, greases, and cleaners; and two smaller cleaning rods. I play guitar-type instruments, and some keyboard, but used to play cornet in grade school. So, I can't tell you much about the specifics of the sound. It plays, and it is the real thing. I got it from the parents of a girl who played it in high school band (!) years ago, having gotten it from an uncle.            If you do make an offer during business hours, please know that I typically respond to offers within the hour.
