my wife just bought a re-furbished trumpet to go along with her C. Melk re-furbished 1934 Silvertone cornet. She got the horn on ebay and it came from England. The horn is really nice but I believe it may be a small bore, you can over power it quite easily but on the other hand it plays very nice when played soft - will be a great horn to play in church. The valves have been re-done but they are copper plated, a friend said this is bad because copper wears very fast and the valves will be shot soon. I noticed that these valve seem heavier then other plated valves. All in all the horn is very nice, a real keeper. Dave
