York Trumpet 1946 with Under-slung 3rd Slide Ring - Parts or Restore Only

Description

York Trumpet Grand Rapids 1946 with Under-slung 3rd Slide Ring - Parts or Restore Only  - Bore: .460 - Serial# 135**
Lovely horn that has wear on the 2nd valve, visual inspection of the valve leads me to believe it was dropped. Horn has a great sound, but a lot of blow by on valve 2. 1st and 3rd are good and the 2nd chamber is true. Missing 2nd slide pull nub, components are all in good shape, no plier marks, 3rd slide a little firm. Great parts horn or fixer upper. I will use for parts or will repair in the future when another compatible model is found if not sold.
I am a collector and hobbyist brass instrument repair technician. My main focus is on vintage, less known and less appreciated cornets and trumpets as well as vintage student models and antique cornets. Recently my new interests are working on and collecting flugelhorns, trombones, euphoniums, tenor horns, single and double french horns. I specialize in refurbishing and collecting original condition horns, but on occasion do complete restores.

"You will most likely not find this amount of work done to horns at your local music shop or on Ebay horns unless they are completely restored"
***Refurbished horns should be cleaned in a warm water bath with mild detergent after at least one month's time and preferably after your first full practice session, don't forget, to never mix oils, many are different and mixing them can lead to dirt buildup and sluggish valves. I highly recommend the use of spitballs regularly to clean any residual debris from your refurbished vintage instrument, remember vintage horns have sometimes been sitting for a very long time, you as an instrument owner should clean your instrument regularly.
