May 16th, 2024RARE FBL MAYNARD FERGUSON ‘LIBERATOR’ Bb TRUMPET.
May 14th, 2024In good playing condition.

It is large bore, and has an extra stamp, which I have not seen on other Liberator trumpets.
It has a small, very well done repair to one of the sections where it joins the 3rd valve.
Jack Bell and Maynard Ferguson formed a company (Ferguson Bell Ltd) to make trumpets and mouthpieces.
Jack Bell lived, and also worked, as a taxi driver in Bradford.
In the early 70’s, Maynard Ferguson had strong connections with the north of England. His manager, Ernie Garside, lived in Manchester.
Hence, I have had 3 of their trumpets, and numerous mouthpieces.

Vintage Sharma (leslie) rotary organ speaker. Model 2300.
March 15th, 2018In very good working condition, all original. It has 2 jack socket inputs, with separate volume controls. The 9 pin socket has been removed. Now, to get slow or fast rotary speaker, you simply ground either the white wire (fast), or blue wire (slow). The Rola Celestion speakers have a diecast chassis, rather than the cheaper pressed steel chassis. The amplifier section was specially made for Sharma by HH, Cambridge, England. I believe it is rated at a ‘true’ 100 watts.
Dimensions – 95cm High, 75cm wide, 51cm deep. Weight – very heavy!
VINTAGE RUDY MUCK 5M TRUMPET.
February 8th, 2018In well used, but still fully functioning condition. All slides and valves are free moving. Quite a few small dents and scratches. The right hand finger rest has been re-soldered, as has one of the lead pipe stays. It comes with a non original Besson case, which is made of leather, and still perfectly usable. In all, an ‘honest’ good playing trumpet, which has lived. Serial # 612243.

August 30th, 2017Here is a very rare item indeed, there is no evidence of there being another in the world!
It is in very good condition for its age, 4 very small dents, the largest being on the right hand side of the ‘backbow’, some surface scratches and a very small amount of pitting in the lacquer. The dents can be best seen in photos 8 and 10.
All the slides, valves and mouthpiece receiver are moving freely. I believe the case is original.
Finally, it is a good player, just ask Eric Miyashiro or Lasse Lindgren.
Price on application.

August 30th, 2017VINTAGE ANTORIA JAZZ BASS – LEFT HANDED.
July 28th, 2017VINTAGE YAMAHA YCR-731 Bb ‘LONG’ CORNET and CASE.
July 28th, 2017In very good vintage (1972?) condition. Made in Japan, the 731 is a professional model with the ‘shepherds crook’ and monel valves. It has a 5 figure serial number, which points to it being an early production model. One tiny dent in the pipe that leads to the bell, some surface scratches to be expected. Overall it is in remarkable condition given its age. All valves and slides are excellent. Comes with its original case and a Yamaha 9 mouthpiece.
VINTAGE 1962 LEVIN LS-18 ACOUSTIC GUITAR.
July 18th, 2017In very good playing condition. Serial number = 4245xx. All original apart from the machine heads, saddle and bridge pins. Plenty of crazing to the lacquer, 2 repaired cracks in the top, one to the extreme left of the bottom, one to the right. The neck angle has been reset to give a good action with enough height to the saddle for further adjustment. The frets have been leveled, crowned and polished.
SANTOS MARTINEZ ELECTRO CLASSICAL GUITAR. SM450CEA SPAIN.
July 6th, 2017It is in very good condition, but it has a vertical scratch in the gloss finish, just below the bridge (high E string). It is approx. 4mm long, 1mm wide. It’s nothing really, but needs to be pointed out, you would only notice on close inspection. It has a solid sitka spruce top with flame maple back and side, it’s lovely! It has a Fishman Presys pick-up system with a tuner incorporated.
VINTAGE SELMER 24B, Bb TRUMPET with original case.
February 8th, 2017In good playing condition, all slides and valves moving freely. Quite a few small dents and scratches. It appears that the middle section of the lead pipe has been replaced, it is silver in colour and it has no finger hook! I believe it is a 24B model, with a 1st valve trigger. The serial # = 26522, which dates it to 1962.

August 17th, 2016BURNS HANK MARVIN ‘CUSTOM ELITE’ 1964 ANNIVERSARY GUITAR and CASE.
August 17th, 2016In very, very good condition with its case, strap, tools etc. There is one small chip in the finish, on the ‘horn’ near the strap button, and one tiny dent near the strap button at the bottom. I would describe the colour as ‘pastel blue’, or is it turqoise? Either way, it is a very rare colour, usually they are red or white.
VINTAGE ABBOTT ‘ARISTONE’ ARCHTOP GUITAR. ENGLAND, 1930’s.
July 6th, 2016Here is a lovely ‘old school’ archtop guitar, model LW, handmade by Jack Abbott senior, London, England around 1933. All solid wood, shame it’s missing its ‘The Aristone’ badge from the headstock. The label states – ‘Hand Made by J.G. ABBOTT & Co Ltd – the Guitar Craftsmen – LONDON W2’. The serial number stamped on the back of the headstock is 372.
It’s in great playable condition for its age, with plenty of ‘mojo’.
I have reset the neck to the body, no easy task.
So it now has a great action with a high bridge, so there is plenty of room for adjustment.
There are 3 cracks, repaired from the inside when I did the neck reset, one above and one below the left F hole, and one below the right F hole. No separations, rare for a guitar this age. It has its original tailpiece and Grover tuners, missing its scratchplate. Numerous scratches and dings, it has quite a small body, unusual for an archtop from this period.
WASHBURN PARLOUR GUITAR. R314KK ANNIVERSARY MODEL.
July 6th, 2016It’s the anniversary model, so has a higher spec. than the norm, complete with its bespoke hard case. It is in good condition, straight neck with no fret or fingerboard wear. Please note, these have an aged worn finish, so it has deliberate signs of use, wood flaws, chips and knocks etc. Also, it has a pronounced V profile neck, just like they used to be.
