'There are two sides to a trumpeter's personality: there is the one that lives only to lay waste to the woodwinds and strings, leaving them lying blue and lifeless along the swath of destruction that is a trumpeter's fury; then there's the dark side.' -Michael Stewart, DMA Bb Cornet Besson Sovereign 927, SN 927-GS-810XXX, silver at 100%, shepherd's crook, first and third valve triggers, 'M' (medium) bore, I've got it used a few years ago and then ended up with conflicting rehearsals on my brass band rehearsal night so I've only used it once in a group.
King Flugelhorn Serial Numbers
The slides and valves are tight and smooth. It seems to play better in tune than the other Sovereigns I've played and it has a sound to die for.
I has the original case with keys and original documents looks new inside and out. (NFS) Boston NE Plus Ultra - Two Star, 78XX series serial number, turn of the century, silver plate at 95 percent, removable leadpipe, everything matches. Beautiful Boston sound. Response is great and intonation is right on the money. It could use a shorter leadpipe shank as it is right on modern pitch with the tuning slide completely in. Valves are brass colored, and although not air tight, the horn plays well and I do not feel the valves should be re-done. (NFS) Boston NE Plus Ultra - Three Star, #1 bore, turn of the century, new silver plate at 100 percent with gold wash in bell, removable leadpipe, everything matches.
Beautiful Boston sound and an excellent player. How to install engine oil cooler. Response is great and intonation is right on the money. The valves are tight and smooth.
(NFS) Conn Connstellation, circa 1960s. This cornet is as near to mint as a cornet can be without it still being on the factory line. I purchased is about 20 years ago from the original owner. I purchased it to replace my old Connstellation which I began playing on, and which I foolishly sold years ago.
I have its original case and my original case,which saw me through elementary school, junior high school, and high school. It's a player, but I'm mostly keeping for sentimental reasons.
