Pan-American Bb Trumpet

lmf · 07-13-2007, 11:00 AM

Hi,

Recently, the local historical museum of which I am associated with received a Pan- American trumpet - Serial #114425 - which we want to display in one of our musical exhibits.

On the engraving it says: Pan- American Elkhart IND U.S.A.

Of course, we are not selling it, but wanted more information about the horn for narrative purposes.

Any help would be appreciated.

Best wishes!

Lloyd

They were made by Conn. See:

Like stated previously, it was probably made by Conn.

Another interesting note. Recently on a sax site that I frequent,
a poster showed pics of a PanAM Tenor sax that was without a doubt, a Martin .
Up until then, Myself and many,many others, thought that ALL PanAMs were Conn made.
After all, Conn owned the Pan American line, and promoted it as their student/intermediate line.
I wonder if Conn ever had PanAm trumpets/cornets made by some other
manufacturer also ? Has anyone out there seen or heard of such a thing ?

Hi Toobz,

The Pan-American Trumpet that I am talking about has a Martin (#8) mouthpiece.

Best wishes,

Lloyd
