i know that excited feeling winning a bidding war, yet overpaying a bit. looking forward to a great video series. i know its going to be good. thanks for sharing the excitement!
When I was in repair school, we had a Monette come in with a banged-up bell. (Monette is a custom trumpet maker in Portland, if anyone is unfamiliar. Wynton Marsalis plays one) It was one of the early ones. Apparently it ended up in some store room somewhere where a parent saw it and its natural brass finish (un-laquered) and assumed it was a junker. He let his kid borrow it as a "beater horn" for marching band. I suppose becoming a garden ornament is an even worse fate.
@@TheBrassandWoodwindShop I wrote an email to them at the time. That was back when email storage was precious, so you printed the ones you cared about and deleted them. I think I have their reply printed somewhere, but not at my fingertips. If I remember correctly, they looked up the serial number for me and told me when it was made.
@@bruhsoundeffect8455 It was an early Monette, so it looked more like a regular trumpet, albeit without finish and with softer brass. I strategically avoided the details about how it ended up in a store room to protect the innocent, although there was nothing illegal about it. Just a bad look.
I'm obviously out of the loop on this type of trumpet. I'm certain it must be worth it, but to me that's a hefty price. Looking forward to your restoration project Art!
I would like to see the link to that item because I want to see those pictures of how trashed it is right now. I love my Stradivarious that is a mid-80's model, still have it in fantastic playable condition. Just can't fathom how that instrument could end up like that.
I recently bought a Besson Cornet circa 1945 missing the lyre box screw. Finally found one, only $15 delivered. Makes me Wonder what a water key off this old Stradavarious might bring
I is still waiting to be started. I mentioned it in a recent video: The Brass And Woodwind Shop: Channel Update July 8, 2021 th-cam.com/video/nRJqN9wQDfk/w-d-xo.html
Um.. yea well see It could become a playable instrument again maybe.. but... yea.. I wouldnt put the time into it I will watch the renovation interesting to see. It would come down to if the valve section is wrecked beyond repair.
Considering the state of the finish, I almost wonder if that was buried with some semi-famous horn player and grave robbers dug it (and him) up. :-) Edit: On tracking the listing down and looking at the pictures, it really isn't in all that bad shape. The major problems are going to be the bell, the valve body, the bent valve, and a small dent in a pipe next to the dented valve body. Other than that, it has a couple of large but fairly simple dents in a pipe, and the verdigris all over the instrument. That may clean off with a few minutes pickling in chemicals. (I'm sure there is some minor stuff I don't see in the pictures, but it should be minor.)
Not yet. I received it in the mail, but I have a few other projects to complete first. I have not opened the package yet because I want to open it on the video.
I legit saw that Bach for sale and definitely thought about bidding
Dont bullshit dude

Very cool. It’s worth the high price to provide great content for your channel. Looking forward to seeing it restored!

NOOOOOOOOOOOO NOT A MONETTE. HOW’D LET THEM GET IT IN THE FIRST PLACE.
WOW! I wonder what Monette would think about that.

Well done!
So, did the trumpet arrive? Have I missed the unboxing and restoration of this one? This is more nerve-wracking than the auction!
this so cool, im excited to see where it goes.
No pictures of the valves ? That would concern me. Good luck though. With your skills, I' m sure you'll bring it back to life.
Waiting in anticipation for a follow up on this. Any update?

Did you end up filming unboxing it? I am all excited.
Right after I bought it I got super busy. It is still in the box at my shop. I hope to have the unboxing video within the next few weeks.

Nice, now you have to get that $350 Buffet R13 on Reverb too!
After it got dented maybe someone thought it wasn't worth fixing, so they used it on a sign or outdoor display or something.
I’ve seen old sousaphones on a fence post. I have thought about actually looking at them but I’m pretty sure they have screws going through them
😆Is it safe to say this trumpet will have a real "earthy" sound😂
I once saw a beat up Getzen 4 valve flugelhorn sell for $100, I regret not buying it.
How?? Where??? the main horn I regret not getting is a 50 dollar silver king mello
@@bruhsoundeffect8455 eBay,

Is there an update video to this? I was wondering what ended up happening to this

I need some very old bugles done.

Always wait until the last 30 seconds to make the bid.

What whould it cost to fully refurbish an alto saxophone
On a sax it is hard to say without seeing it, but probably around $300 to $400.
525$, really? Well, hope you you'll enjoy restoring it, and finally get your money back 😉
Have you started on it yet?

58*** defiantly early 70’s. Mine is 77*** and is early 70’s.
Trumpet looked like it was literally on fire
Bach quality has slipped . Bought a new 50th anniversary and the first valve looks like the metal is worn through. Nuts
👌👌👌👌🎺🎺🎺
#58000 would place this in the latter 1960s. it is too damaged for $350. maybe $50 for someone who wanted to try this as repair project.
Eh even if u part it out for 350 I think that’s pretty okay. I’ve seen a 37 in worse shape for 700 lol
This woman runs you dude.
Se mandar esse trompete para um bom martelinho de ouro, vai ficar muito bom kkkk
Too much for the condition....
