Antique H. N. White King Liberty #1050 Silvertone Silver & Gold Pro Trumpet
Price: US $661.00

Up for consideration is an extremely rare antique H. N. White King Liberty Silvertone Professional Trumpet inVery GoodCondition. Model #1050. Made in Cleveland, OH. Serial #154,346. M .448\" bore.Monel pistons. Aluminum valve stems.Solid Sterling Silver bell. Gold plated body, engraving, and inner bell. Key of C, Bb, an A. The slides have lines on them for the position they need pulled out to correct intonationfor the key of A. All of the serial numbers match including the body, slides, valves, valve stems, andtop caps. This horn has the very rare Deluxe finish with the gold body, gold detail in theengraving and gold in the bell. Most of the gold has worn of the engraving and bell but much of it still on the the body of the horn. I was going to restore the horn with new silver plate but after talking with several experts I was told to leave the horn originalas it isextremelyrare to find a horn with the gold body and sterling bellin such good shape. It also has a larger than normal engraving on the bell. The solid sterling silver bell is in remarkable shape still. It has never been dropped, dented badly,or wrinkled. Normally the sterling bells take quite a beating over the years because they are so soft. The sterling silvermark is engraved on the top of the bell by the 3rd valve.

Medium #1050: Bell 4.50, Bore .448, Weight 36 ounces, length 19.75\"

The trumpet was disassembled andafew small dents wereremoved. All the slide tubeswere hand polished.The valves were lightly honed and then lapped into their respective cases.It was then chem. cleaned, sanitized,andflushed out. Cleaning brushes were run through every passage on the horn andthe it was thoroughly rinsed and dried.It was assembled using the highest quality 100% synthetic lubricants. The trumpet includesnew valve stem corks and felts, topfelts, spit valve spring,and rubber spit valve pads. The valves were aligned. The valve guides even include the original small brass pins that can be moved for precision rotational valve alignment. The pinky hook and intermediate \'X\' tuning slide brace have been re-soldered at some point in the past. I haven\'t seen an oldLiberty that didn\'t have these re-soldered on it though. Itlooks like there was a dent removed from the tuning slide. The horn does have normal nicks and scratches from use. One of the pull knobs on the2nd valve slide is not original. Please look through all the high definition zoom photos carefully to seethe condition of the trumpet. For restoration purposes I lookedthrough my parts catalog and thereNOS Kingparts left for the model 1045 in .448\" bore that should allow this horn to be restored to like new condition.

The trumpet plays great. The valves are fast and smooth.The compression is still good. All the slides move easy and smoothly. Thesterling silver bell gives the horn more harmonics which addscolor and richness to the sound. The sterling bellwill also not crack notes when pushed hard.

The sale includes the Trumpet,older black hardcase inserviceable shape, andVincent Bach Corp.7C Mouthpiece. The horn needs a hotter mouthpiece like a Reeves or Monette to really bring it alive.
