admin 4 Posted June 30, 2019 I recently posted images in the TrumpetForum gallery on a late John Heald & Co. American Premier model from the early 1920s (best I can figure is 1922) that was built in Boston, MA. I'm curious after playing the trumpet - this is a modern style trumpet - in fact plays like Bach trumpets of that era / even today. They were ahead of their time, and unfortunately went out of business in the late 1920s. Have any others played a John Heald trumpet from the early 1900s?

allen 5 Posted July 13, 2019 How’s does it play? Looks like it is in really good condition. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
admin 4 Posted August 3, 2019 I ended up selling the John Heald trumpet this past week. The trumpet played great, used a cornet size mouthpiece shank. I'm continuing my search for early trumpet/cornets that play well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
