Most of the time making it was in filing the center hole so it fit tight on the old post.BESSON MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS PRIVATE LIMITEDīESSON MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS PRIVATE LIMITED COMPANY, is an entity incorporated on 16 August 1990 under Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA). By cutting off the flanged ends and filing it down I got something that looked pretty good. I found a brass brace in my parts bin that was intended as a cross brace between branches of a slide with a hole through the center for a stop rod. After looking at many photos of other Besson horns I decided that the most original style was a straight bar with a little knob on each end. The last item to fix on this horn was the missing lever on the key change valve. The rest of the notes are very well centered. I found it best to leave the third slide out a little. Of course, this ad is a bit of a lie as no trumpet will play the low C# or D in tune and this one plays quite sharp. Here is the trumpet from a 1912 Carl Fischer catalog Here is matching cornet #104848 with the same engraving.Īfter four years of searching I finally found a matching mouthpiece! It fits perfect and sounds better with this trumpet than my more modern mouthpiece. What I would give to go back in time and watch this being done! Perhaps they engraved it while mounted and made it look like it goes under the braces.
The bell seems to have been engraved before mounting yet it's engraved into the plating. The bell flare is so small that this does not set well on a regular trumpet stand and the mutes don't fit well. This has a length of 18-7/8" and a bell of 4-11/16". I find it hard to believe that Besson would leave so little room in the design. This means that the spring bases are hitting bottom just as the alignment is correct. This plays well but I found that to get the valves aligned correctly, there is so little felt on the inside that the valves all clunk when they come to the top of their motion.
I don't know what the "4" stands for but the bore is about 0.44" so quite small. The engraving covers every part of this including the little slide on the key change valve. You can see some of the deterioration of the plating on the inside of the bell showing as small dark spots but what an engraving. The amazing engraving includes a bird, American flag, US shield, and even a portrait of Abraham Lincoln! There are a number of tiny dots where the plating is deteriorating but overall this looks good. There is some wear through the plating on the 1st valve so I could tell this was well used in the past.Īfter a bath in silver cleaner and some light hand polishing this really came out great and is gold plated. A silver plated instrument would be black all over but this looked gold except for the engraving. The only problems with it were a crushed 2nd valve slide with missing knob, the missing key change lever, and a bell that had been hit from the side as evidenced by the cross brace in front of the valves having been pushed into the bell. It has a key change valve for Bb to A but the original lever is missing so for now I keep it at Bb. It is labeled Class A Prototype New Creation and was sold, like all Besson instruments, through Carl Fischer of New York.
#Besson and co class a serial number
The serial number is 105184 which dates this to about 1920. I bought it off the internet when it was very badly tarnished but I could tell that the engraving was special and I suspected from the color that this was gold plated. Here is an incredibly engraved Trumpet made by Besson & Co.
