For the discerning collector of vintage trumpets with $20,000 burning a hole in his pocket, consider the Harry James' Model 26 Selmer at Heritage Aution Galleries - Beverly Hills:

Opening bid is a mere $10,000. Droooool.

Maybe a bunch of us (say a dozen) could get together and buy it, then pass it around ...... like a timeshare. You get 1 month out of the year with it .... plan you gigs accordingly. Looks like a nice one.

Now if we could channel Harry's talent also..................mmmmmm. Reminds me of the Miles' Black Martin that sold at auction a few years ago for over $40k, I think. There should be archived threads here.

I hope it goes for more than just 10K. Harry deserves more recognition than that. Although I believe his last horn was a King silver flair. CW
Harry owned A LOT of horns...A LOT
Unfortunately, all of the jazz that was in the horn had been drained off and recycled elsewhere. That horn is just a dead hunk of brass now.
Whenever I feel blue, I start breathing again.
Harry's last horn was one of his King HJ models, balanced dual bore Symphony. I was with Harry 3 weeks before he died. That's what he was playing.
I play a Stomvi USA ML bore # 3 leadpipe #27 bell
Callet Superchops 3 mouthpiece...modified by Ken Titmus @Warburton.
There is Harry James...then there is every other trumpet player!!
Even if I had $20,000 to spare the horn would not make me sound like Harry James.
