The trumpet Serial # is L.P. 402400 and the other one, which might be a baritone, has a Serial # 412829. I am looking for information and resources regarding when these were made and any input on the quality of the instrument at the time they were manufactured. I guess I would be interested in the value of these instruments as well. They seem to be in good shape, just need polishing. The trumpet is in better condition than the other instrument.
As for the non-trumpet instrument, all I can tell you is that it came with a bariton mouthpiece and it has s different fingering chart than a trumpet. I do play the Trumpet so I know that much.
Thanks | Could you possibly post some pictures?
I'm afraid I can't be of any help with regard to categorising the trumpet - but someone will!
Chris.
