Rare, Collectors: Couesnon Trumpet in F/G. Letter N on the 2. Valve right side, as well as Crest and Conservatoire Paris on the left side. Letter B on lead-pipe receiver. The instrument feels and sounds typically French-styled. There is undoubtedly reach into the classic Maurice Andre / Selmer sound and style. Within its context, the instrument bore is unusually/ interestingly large at 11.56 mm (0.455), which I measured at the first valve pipe. Bell diameter is 120 mm (4.724 inches). I find it warm, open and forgiving. I have never spotted evidence of any previous repair on this instrument. The lacquer sparkles and tiny blemishes are hard to spot. Please zoom in on the area of the leadpipe in line with 2. Valve, to see light surface scuff in the lacquer here. I don’t want to buff it too vigorously. The valves are quite pristine and glide beautifully. This instrument is a tribute to great master-craftsmen of its time. Devotees will know that Couesnon serial number records were lost in a fire, (two, in fact), and so the serial number 37495 confirms little. The last digit is not penned in, but this confirms that it is a 1960s vintage. Four other mouthpieces will also be supplied, that I have found to work well on the instrument. They have been altered in a way that they can only be fitted to this instrument. 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. I found this innovation to be very successful. These pieces are as follows. Jupiter 10 ½ C. Engineered and nickel-plated identical copy of the Amati 7EW that I use on my YTR 9830 (My favorite). Please note that the Instrument is in South Africa. Small shifts I will absorb. USA CANADA MEXICO – 211 USD. Europe/ UK/ Middle East – 147 GBP or 162 EUR. Sub Saharan Africa – 2245 SA Rand. Rest of world 237 USD. Arrival in country of destination should not exceed 4 days. Reference will be supplied. Please do not hesitate to ask any questions. I hope that this special and rare trumpet continues to pass through hands of those who admire it as I have. The item “Couesnon Monopole F/G Trumpet.

Serial number is 41369. This instrument has given me excellent service since I acquired it used thirty years ago. Before then it had been repaired where the lead pipe curves down toward the third valve. There is a small dent in the second valve tubing. Otherwise the instrument is in great condition; the compression is excellent, the valves work smoothly, and the trumpet plays wonderfully. For more information about this brand browse to Horn-U-Copia. And select Couesnon from the drop-down menu. The letter N on the second valve (below the dented tubing) evidently identifies the person responsible for assembling the valve block; see the explanation at The Trumpet Herald. This is the type of instrument that David Mason played for the piccolo trumpet solo on The Beatles’s Penny Lane. See the photographs included in this listing that show the Beatles rehearsing for the Our World live satellite television broadcast at Studio One, EMI Studios, London, June 25th, 1967 photographer unknown; see The Beatles through the looking glass onion. Mason participated in this session; you can see his instruments as well as George Harrison clowning around with Mason’s Couesnon piccolo trumpet. Evidently Mason’s model was the Monopole Conservatoire, not the Monopole Star, but because the Couesnon factory was destroyed in 1969 it is impossible to differentiate models and date instruments according to serial numbers.
