B&H 400 - the instrument they tried to ban

It was a student trumpet made by Amati. At one stage it was made by them for Boosey & Hawkes, then B&H became Besson and the instrument was dropped from the line. However, Amati continued to produce it, still using the B&H 400 model number. It took Besson a good few years to stop them doing this.
Not the greatest of student instruments.
