| 2009-11-16 | Teresa | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Mike, Thanks so much for answering my question. I searched everywhere on the internet with that serial/model number and came up with nothing so you have helped me out. I purchased this trumpet last week on ebay for $80 including shipping so I have not see it yet. I hope it is a decent one as my daughter's band teacher tells me she is waaay past the beginner Bach she has been playing for 7 years. Thanks so much! Teresa |

| 2009-10-21 | Dave | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thanks Mike, it's pretty much as I figured. It's just a project horn anyways. I replaced it with a new Calicchio 1s/7 John Duda built for me in August. Now there's a great trumpet! |
| 2009-10-21 | Tore | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thank you Mike for you fast respond. When I bought the horn I was a little afraid that it would be a much degraded version, but I immediately liked it when playing it. So I am very pleased with your answer and from my point of view I agree totally. I am in jazz business and in many ways I find this horn "easier" than my Constellation 38B. All the best. Tore |
