RARE FBL MAYNARD FERGUSON ‘LIBERATOR’ Bb TRUMPET.

In good playing condition.

Serial # 001, which suggests it’s the first one made!

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.

Price = £1500.
