Engineered and nickel-plated identical copy of the Amati 7EW that I use on my YTR 9830 (My favorite).

I found this innovation to be very successful. Their outer shanks have been specially milled to take the place of the removable/ tunable lead-pipe receiver consequently, bypassing the need to use cornet shanks. They have been altered in a way that they can only be fitted to this instrument. Four other mouthpieces will also be supplied, that I have found to work well on the instrument. The last digit is not penned in, but this confirms that it is a 1960s vintage. Devotees will know that Couesnon serial number records were lost in a fire, (two, in fact), and so the serial number 37495 confirms little. This instrument is a tribute to great master-craftsmen of its time. The valves are quite pristine and glide beautifully. Valve, to see light surface scuff in the lacquer here. Please zoom in on the area of the leadpipe in line with 2. The lacquer sparkles and tiny blemishes are hard to spot. I have never spotted evidence of any previous repair on this instrument. Within its context, the instrument bore is unusually/ interestingly large at 11.56 mm (0.455), which I measured at the first valve pipe. There is undoubtedly reach into the classic Maurice Andre / Selmer sound and style. The instrument feels and sounds typically French-styled. Valve right side, as well as Crest and Conservatoire Paris on the left side. Rare, Collectors: Couesnon Trumpet in F/G. The seller is “magpiecollector5″ and is located in Dublin.
