This Selmer Trumpet is truly considered one of the most sought after "Holy Grail's" of the Trumpet world. Historically the Selmer Trumpet lines started their road to glory when Henri Selmer started his business in 1885 and called it the Selmer Paris Co. Originally the company manufactured mostly woodwind instruments, but began a migration into Trumpets in the early 1930's. In 1933 the new logo of "Henry Selmer Paris" was previewed on its new Trumpet line designed for Louis Armstrong, the first of his many creations was called the "Balanced" model. Later, this Trumpet was also adopted and used by trumpet legend Harry James.

Also, you will note several other impressive features. The valves are a short throw, fast action creation, as was the case when first introduced by the 1930s legendary Vega brand of trumpetsparticularly the Power model. It also has an underslung third tuning slide finger holdwhich was reserved by Selmer for their top pro lines.

This horn also has an extra band of brass surrounding the bottom of the bellit gives an increased resonance to its sound production! As you can see it has been completely restored, close to its original condition!

This horn was completely dis-assembled, all defects corrected including some minor dent work and then silver plated including a GOLD outer band, as well as, a GOLD wash inner bell. But the prevailing rumor is that the actual brass that was used for these horns was from spent WWII artillery shell casings.

This brass contained properties that are rarely found in traditional raw brass... However, the reality is that this is a Superior horn, regardless of its metal origins... Really remarkable for a 65+ year old item! This one has both, in spades! These unique and rare Trumpets don't surface very often for sale... Almost never in this condition. Grab one while you can!
