OLD Holton Heim - How do I know which model it is?

fannyfoodle · 10-26-2009, 02:35 PM

I swear, I've searched for my answer prior to posting. I have my grandfather's old Holton trumpet as well as a "Heim Model" mouthpiece. The horn is a pea-shooter and really not the greatest to play. The mouthpiece, however, intrigues me. Some of the silver is worn off so you get that "taste" when playing on it. I can only handle that for a few minutes.

There is no indication whether this is a model 1 or 2 (or anything else for that matter). It has a rim that screws off.

It's in pretty rough shape and I've toyed with the idea of having it re-plated. It would be helpful, however, to know what the heck it is.

I'm a comeback player (about 8 months into it now) after almost 20 years. This website is an incredible resource. Most of the time I just lurk because I don't feel as though I have anything meaningful to contribute and "join the fray".

Thanks,

Dan
