Couesnon Flugels

Ive recently been trying to find info on the horns and the company to try and fill in the holes in the records that have been kept by the band here(I'm one of the equipment managers this year)

I know that all the archived serial number data was lost in a fire(I dont remember the year) I do know that we purchased 10 Couesnon flugels in 1963 which for us generally means from the factory, with consecutive serial numbers 52xxx.

Im trying to determine the year of a single flugel, purchased after the original set, serial number 83xxx but the purchase date was never recorded. Ive been able to infer that it was somewhere in the late 60s to early 70s, but thats as exact as I am able to get

Please help if you have any knowledge of Couesnon serial numbers!

Its not a complete list, but Ive discovered that the 52xxx horns we have are manufactured in 61, the 83xxx is from 72.

you might be able to work something out based on that for starters

I thought the fire that destroyed the factory was in 1969?

It was.

They did get things back together, and still produce horns even today.

The largest loss was the records and archives and other paper type stuff, and the tooling for some of the trumpets/cornets
