Hi all-
I am the proud owner of a 1948 Rudy Muck New York Trumpet (New York Bach Copy) and I have to tell you, I just love this horn! It plays like a dream and slots, so incredibly well. I am curious to see how many of you own or play on Rudy Muck trumpets.......
Here is the Rudy Muck info page....

Apparently not many. I am not personally aware of this brand, either, but I wanted to let you know that someone at least looked at your post. I went on the site at the link you provided and read some of the history. Also, it appears that you have a very beautiful trumpet from the photo on that site. From your post, it seems that it plays as good as it looks. Good luck.

I've got a Rudy Muck 17C mouthpiece for my Connquerror. Its a little pea shooter that I can hardly make any noise out of. Probably close to a 1a4a if schilke ever made (or could make) one that small).


I didn't know they had trumpets too.

Snooky Young played a Rudy Muck mouthpiece.

Rudy Muck trumpets were popular in the UK, especially the balanced model.

I have never seen a Muck trumpet but in high school in 1944 I played a 19c and did un til years later when I turned to a Purviance. I think they were fine pieces.I have heard that Charlie Shavers played a 19c. In those days there were not a lot of good mouthpieces since it was war time and material was in short supply.

I can tell you that my Rudy Muck New York (copy of the NY Bach Strad) is an amazing player. I know that Rudy Muck worked for Vincent Bach and that these early Mucks were made with parts from the Bach factory. It is a really heavy horn, very solid. I just love the way it plays and would never part with this horn. There were many different models of "Muck" trumpets. The trumpet with "Rudy Muck New York, USA" is a copy of the New York Bach Strad, from the same period. Here is a video that I took with my trio last Friday night, playing the NY Muck:

This horn also records extremely well. The over-tones are so very stable and therefore, it does not "peak" and very easy to get a great mix. I highly recommend these horns to anyone looking to play a vintage horn.......
here is a recording that I did with the Muck:
