Up for consideration is this vintage, 1928, Pan American trumpet. I think it is a model 31B and can be switched between concert Bb and A; the “A” tuning slide is seized. It is in good condition overall but does have general wear on the normal areas. The silver plating has some loss and light scratching, but is mostly complete. The first, second, third, and main tuning slides are free and lubricated. The valves work great and are very responsive, but do have plating loss. Regardless of that, the horns compression is very good. The serial numbers match on the pistons. Although nothing major, there are a few dings on the bell. It doesn’t appear to have had any major trauma or previous repair work. The second slide has dents. Though playable as-is, it could use some general maintenance to bring it up to its fullest potential. It has been cleaned with a mild soap/ water/ brushing. Included is a vintage case that is functional, but not in great shape. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. Rays Midbell Music Mission.
