Here is a Rare Selmer Balanced Custom Bb trumpet from late 1954, once owned by a legendary musician and singer. This beautiful and unique instrument is in flawless original condition and plays beautifullyprobably the finest version of this horn around today. It has been held by a wealthy collector for many yearssomeone who knew the long-departed original owner. He is adamant about this. But we’re confident that this horn is exactly as described by the collector, who is very credible and offering this horn through us at what we firmly believe to be an incredible price. As we mentioned, we dated this horn to late 1954. It is a 24A designation, making it an ML bore. That, in and of itself, may be a dead giveaway, for only the top players of that era played this model. It sounds very punchy yet incredibly warm with a light attack. The (original) valve action tested as butter smooth and perfect. The horn is polished raw golden brass and the lead pipe is silver. All of the markings and engraved logos/information on the horn are crisp, sharp and still deep. Again, simply a perfect and gorgeous horn. We honestly have never seen one this clean or sound this amazing. We’re not taking one cent from this sale in repping itand all of our summations and opinions on instruments and accessories are completely candid and brutally honest. We have a perfect track record. In other words, this horn is exceptional. This beauty will come with a Noble Brass hard shell case. You can upgrade to a deluxe hardshell fiberglass case for an additional charge. The upgrade can be done after the fact. Check out our amazing other horns for sale, including one amazing Taylor Bb from a Hollywood movie and one unbelievably creamy Martin Committee Handcraft. We also have a gorgeous Glenn Cronkhite flugelhorn case, a gorgeous (and new) original Reunion Blues black (faux) alligator gig bag and a bunch of amazing mouthpieces up for grabs.
