OUTSTANDING 100% immaculate compression.

OUTSTANDING 100% immaculate compression. 

• The Serial Number (47153): Places the manufacturing date of this horn precisely around 1999–2000. This era is highly sought after by brass enthusiasts because it represents a period of incredible build consistency at the Chicago factory.
• Design DNA: It features a .450-inch medium bore paired with Schilke’s hallmark #8 taper bell. P4s are structurally famous for their unique, enlarged knuckles connecting the valve casing to the slides, providing an intensely free-blowing experience compared to classic French-style tight-wrap piccolos.

3 Valves and the money shot straight through the tubes! It has three valves and a medium bore (0.450 inch) that is significantly larger than the small bore (around 0.415) piccolos made in the French tradition which previously dominated the market. It also has expanded valve bows and large bore piston ports. 3RD slide finger ring These differences are immediately apparent and make the horn far more free blowing than any previous manufactured piccolos. It has a scale and playability far better than than the smaller instruments. Since at least 1979 or so all P4s have come with beryllium bells standard. Usual flawless Schilke craftsmanship and attention to detail. Intonation is very good with probably the best valve action on the planet. The P4 is similar in bore and bell to the P5-4, except it has only three valves. The P4 is listed in the company’s current price list, but is not included in the catalog. Rare and hard to find! Excellent design and constrution, very smooth valve action, intonation is exceptional through the full range of the instrument, nice full tone with good center. It projects very well, and a great deal of fun to play.

• “Melk Ultra Clean and Alignment”: This instrument has been professionally serviced by Charlie Melk, one of the most widely respected brass restoration and customization experts in the United States. A Melk precision valve alignment adjusts the internal ports to an absolute microscopic tolerance, giving the player much cleaner slotting, faster note transitions, and a more uniform tone throughout the partials. [1]
• “100% Immaculate Compression”: Piccolo trumpets are notoriously unforgiving if there is any air leakage in the pistons. Because the tubing is so short, poor compression instantly ruins the high register and destabilizes the pitch. Flawless, tight compression on a 25-year-old horn indicates pristine Monel pistons that have been oiled diligently and show zero structural wear.
• Three-Valve vs. Four-Valve Market Dynamics: Because it lacks the fourth valve for low-register compensating pull extensions, orchestral players often pass on the P4 in favor of a P5-4. However, commercial players, high-note specialists, and soloists who prefer a significantly lighter weight casing, faster handling, and an incredibly free-blowing upper register actively seek out pristine P4s.

Olds L12 Flugelhorn S/n 597123

sign of a dent repair on the bell choke area (down;t affect playing)

The Olds L-12 Flugelhorn, S/N 597123, dates to approximately May–June 1967.

Olds L-12 Flugelhorn — S/N 597123

• Maker: F.E. Olds & Son
• Model: L-12
• Serial: 597123
• Manufacture: 1967
• Origin: Fullerton, California
• Bore: approximately .437”
• Bell: Olds Re-O-Loy red/rose-brass bell
• Era: Classic Fullerton Olds period

The Olds serial records put #550,000 at June 1966 and #600,000 at June 1967, making #597123 essentially a mid-1967 instrument.

The L-12 is an interesting vintage flugelhorn. It was based on the Couesnon concept but built substantially by Olds, with the Re-O-Loy bell giving it the characteristic dark, broad flugelhorn sound. Contemporary players generally regard the L-12 as a very good vintage flugel, although valve noise and individual intonation characteristics can vary.

The Bach Stradivarius CL 239/25H is a professional C trumpet configuration associated with orchestral playing. The combination of the 239 bell and 25H leadpipe makes this an must have instrument for players seeking a large, projecting sound with flexibility for orchestral and solo work.

Full Charlies Melk  raw brass overhaul 1st slide hook, 3rd Water Key, 3rd slide stop screw, & valve alignment.

No Case / No Mpc but we have plenty.  Let me know what you are looking for I can help you out.

What Does 25H / 239 CL Mean?

These designations identify important parts of the trumpet’s configuration.

The 239 bell

The 239 bell is associated with Bach’s C trumpet lineup. Bell design influences the instrument’s response, projection, tonal center, and overall playing characteristics.

The 25H leadpipe

The 25H is the mouthpipe designation. It is a key part of the trumpet’s playing characteristics, influencing resistance, response, and intonation.

The CL designation

The CL designation is consistent with a C trumpet in large bore. It should not be confused with the more familiar ML designation on many Bach Bb trumpets.

How Does It Perform?

The 239/25H combination is worth considering for several applications.

Orchestral playing

• A focused, projecting sound.
• The potential for a broad, singing tone.
• Flexibility for both exposed passages and full orchestral sections.

Chamber music

• Can provide a centered sound that blends well with woodwinds and strings.
• Offers flexibility for solo passages and smaller ensembles.

Solo playing

• Can produce a brilliant sound when played with sufficient air and support.
• May be suitable for concertos, recitals, and church performances.

This horn is famous for it’s Tone control Band around the rim of the bell.  All of the outside slides are made of a hard drawn special nickel silver alloy.

All points of wear are also nickle silver making this horn incredibly durable.  This horn has an incredible tone.  With smooth valve action and good compression in the slides. This horn is in just moderate shape, but with a beautiful tone.  The horn has been overhauled in its lifetime, but I can’t tell you who did the work. There is a very small patch right where the bell and the 3rd valve meet on the back side out of view.  It doesn’t affect the playing but I noticed it.

It is a well maintained horn from the 1970’s. It could pass for a brand new horn. The lacquer on the bell is a very good , hardly any wear. The valves are some of the best I have ever felt, and they are a bit unusual since they have bottom springs that go between the bottom of the valve piston and the bottom valve caps. The herald bell detaches and has its own slot in the case. The case is in excellent shape and has room for the bell, body of the horn, and a mouthpiece. The horn takes a cornet shank mouthpiece. Comes with case, no mouthpiece included though I do have a few I could sell along with the horn.  You hardy ever see these up for sale, they are quite unusual. This would be a great horn for a collector or somebody looking for a good entry level piccolo.  Comes with the Original Case.
