Evette & Schaeffer Trumpet 1969 (Buffet) – Refurbished – Case and Buffet MP Bore. An amazing playing horn with open low range that can really take some air and produce some HUGE tone volume. These later models with 6 digit serial numbers are speculated to have been built by Bohm Meinl (which would make production in Germany, though there is no country of manufacture marking on this horn), the core of these horns which is obviously EMO / Buffet lasted until 1972 with this one being the final production model. Louis Armstrong helped make the EMO horns famous in the 50’s, these E&S American horns are a later generation of those EMO builds imported into the USA by Karl Fischer. All slides are smooth, 3rd slide is buttah with slide dump and water key, caps thread easily and valves feel very nice with excellent compression. Lacquer is 80% and underneath that lacquer the horn really looks excellent showing no major trauma or repairs. Original Buffet Crampon case is solid and in very good condition with wear around the outside corners, horn also comes with an original Buffet Crampon 7C mouthpiece.
