0 0 1 92 531 Whitney Rhiannon Till 4 1 622 14.0 96 800x600 Normal 0 false false false EN-US JA X-NONE Travel back in time with this vintage trumpet. Likely made in the 1930s, it's a Bohland & Fuchs American Student trumpet. Marked as made in Bohemia, which is now part of the Czech Republic, it was made sometime between 1938 and 1945, when it was part of wartime Germany. 20-1/8" long with the mouthpiece, it's a long peashooter trumpet. 4-5/8" bell. There are several repairs on the tubing. Freshly greased and oiled, all the tuning slides and valves work properly. Comes in the original "American Student" hard case, which is worn but fully functional. Valves do have significant ordinary play wear. It has been much played so there is ordinary play wear all over, plus a few dents. Cosmetically, though, it still looks pretty decent. The problem is that the second valve bottom cap is missing. Mouthpiece is unmarked. Comes with old marching band lyre. It's a historical old trumpet which still has music left in it.
