TrumpetForum Posted June 30, 2019 Share 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 Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 How’s does it play? Looks like it is in really good condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrumpetForum Posted August 3, 2019 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
