I pulled a trumpet out of a trash dumpster one time in about 1985. It looked pretty onld and was missing the main slide. It had no name on it, only a beautifully engraved elk on the bell. It was brass and it seemed to have nice valve action. I kept it in a box for years until our church began asking for old horns to take to Haiti to help start a church band there. I gave them the elk horn and they took it and had it repaired. and shipped it off to Haiti. I never did find out what kind of horn that was. At the time I was into guitar and not paying much attention to horns. Does anyone know what that might have been?
