    Bought on ebay in extremely poor condition. Now improved. Would love to find out who made it and more information / history. Think its a Boosey and Hawkes from the serial number.
    Any help appreciated.

      A quick search showed a Bach that mentioned Broadway artist, but those are US made. So I think you may be correct thinking it's a B & H. If that is correct, there is a serial number lookup and it appears those serial numbers are 1946-47 era.

      I started out with a cheap brass trumpet and later got my older brother's silver Yamaha, which I played up until I graduated high school. Of course 1st chair!

      Thanks for your comments vert much appreciated. Every little piece of information I get will help trace the history.
      I can get the notes out but it's not great having played EEb Tuba for 48 years!
      Cheers

      Sold my trumpet over a decade ago..and been over 3 decades+ since I picked it up. Lots of good times. Our music teacher was also a trumpet player..he was really good. I was fortunate to have him in elementary school and then later in high school..
