A review of three very nice (and affordable) vintage trumpets; a Holton Galaxy, a Blessing Artist and an Olds Special. Each of these is a very nice player, very nice tone and purchasing one won’t break the bank. It can be a challenge finding one in good shape – but this certainly is true of any vintage instrument. I do hope you enjoy the video! Continued best wishes, Jonathan Milam

Where are Holton trumpets made?

With the support of well known artists such as Philip Farkas and Ethel Merker; Holton’s French horns became increasingly popular. Manufacturing of Holton instruments was retained in Elkhorn, Wisconsin until 2008 when it was relocated to Eastlake, Ohio.

He was rarely seen without one of these horns and actively endorsed them. In 1964, Frank Holton & Co. was bought by G. Leblanc Corp., a woodwind manufacturer, and in 2004, the two companies were bought by Steinway Musical Instruments, Conn-Selmer division.

Is Holton a good trombone?

“The Holton TR 160 is one of the best large bore tenor trombone I’ve played. I was not very familiar with the Holton trombones and had been playing a Bach 42B open wrap and then a 42T with a Thayer valve. The Holton 160 is quite flexible with a great focused tone and intonation.

How do I identify my trumpet?

The most common place to find the brand name is on the trumpet bell. Brands will typically engrave their name when making the trumpet. If you can’t find the brand on the bell, look at where you connect the mouthpiece to the trumpet. That’s called the mouthpiece receiver, and you might find the trumpet brand there.

What is the serial number?

Serial Numbers. A serial number (SN) is a number assigned to each individual product in order to distinguish that product from all others. The serial number is sometimes used only for warranty control and sometimes used for both warranty control and for version control.

How can I tell what model my Bach trumpet is?

You can tell most of what you need to know from the bell number and leadpipe. If the bell has just the numbers and no star, it is a regular weight bell. If it has a star, it is most likely a lightweight body and bell. The mouthpiece receivers carry a stamp, if they are not the standard 25 leadpipe.

I was stolen early in the year and need a new trumpet, im looking for a solid begginer, i like jazz playing, and found a T602 Holton for cheap. BUT is there such a thing as a chinese Holton? Cause it sure does seem too good a deal to be true. That said is it a good buy ? Should i wait and save for an ambassador or TR300 ?

Here are some pics of the trumpet in question

Solid student trumpet in my book. When they were actually Holtons (pre UMI/Selmer/whatever) I’d put them above TR300’s for build quality (there was a recent thread on those). They’re not super open and free blowing but well built.

As student horns go, you wont find much better. A TR300 will blend better in a section, but at the student level that is rarely a concern. At the time this was made, the Holton brand was being positioned as “full line”, so the Collegiate name was omitted from the instruments.

If the price is low, and the valves are ok, it’s a rare opportunity.

This one was made in the US. Yes, there were a handful made in China, a larger handful made in the Czech Republic, some made in France, and a bunch made in Japan. Holton trumpets are extinct now with the brand used on Eastlake low brass and the one surviving Holton design, the Farkas French horn.

Our workshop is as close as your nearest UPS store Very interesting, OldSchoolEuph. I was well aware of Leblanc’s previous partnership with Yamaha and more recent Amati made Holton student tubas. I was unaware of there were any Chinese made Holton instruments. We service student instruments too, but haven’t seen any of those yet. There have been several Chinese Bundy trumpets in our shop due to Music and Arts (owners of the Bundy brand name). Thanks for keeping us up to date._________________James BeckerBrass Repair Specialist Since 1977Osmun Music Inc.77 Powdermill Road Rt.62Acton, MA 01720Our workshop is as close as your nearest UPS store https://www.ups.com/dropoff?loc=en_US

If the valves and slides move it would be a good horn. I think you would find it a bit brighter in sound than an Ambassador but I don’t think that’s a bad thing. They are good solid trumpets. Not pro horns but pretty good.

I would certainly get it rather than some noname trumpet shaped object from e-Bay.

Scruffy, beat up Holtons will generally sell for a little under $100 with shipping on Goodwill Auction.

The T602 was the mainstay of our rental stock. There was no Chinese stuff in their lineup. They did have a deal with Yamaha, the Vito alto saxes were renamed YAS23, parts completely interchangeable and some of the marching brass was Yamaha made. Way back when Bach was in Mt. Vernon they made parts for Bach. Some of their professional grade trumpets were excellent Bach clones.

It is a shame that they are no more, they were a great company with fine products.

You found yourself a fine time-capsule horn.

It’s a faithful knock off of the Yamaha YEP-321S, so much so a Yamaha valve guide fits perfectly. It would appear to be holding up to hard use for the time being.

Thanks for that info. I knew those looked like a Yamaha, but maybe they are Yamaha. The YEP-321 production shifted to China just after the introduction of the first 6-series Yamaha euphoniums (1986 if I am remembering right – you can confirm by all the part changes tied to the year on 24/7)

Our workshop is as close as your nearest UPS store This one is definitely NOT a Yamaha but a close facsimile. Stainless steel valve stems, very red copper leadpipe with bass shank receiver (Yamaha YEP-321 has small tenor shank receiver). But more evident, the fit and finish falls short of Yamaha standards._________________James BeckerBrass Repair Specialist Since 1977Osmun Music Inc.77 Powdermill Road Rt.62Acton, MA 01720Our workshop is as close as your nearest UPS store https://www.ups.com/dropoff?loc=en_US

Holton (Leblanc)

Holton is a brand owned by the Conn-Selmer division of Steinway Musical Instruments. The original business was a used instrument shop began in 1898 by Frank Holton, a trombone player, in Chicago, Illinois. The firm built brass instruments for ten years in Chicago, then in Elkhorn, Wisconsin from 1918 until 2008, when production of Holton-branded instruments moved to Eastlake, Ohio.[1] The business remained independent until it was acquired by Leblanc in 1964. Leblanc was acquired by Conn-Selmer in 2004 and its properties became subsidiaries of Conn-Selmer.

Frank Holton [ edit ]

Frank E. Holton was born March 10, 1858 in Allegan, Michigan to farmers Otis (b. 1827) and Hanna A. (b. 1829) Holton. He grew up with three sisters: Emma E. Holton, Alice Holton and Leona Holton.[2][3] By the time he was 34, Frank Holton was an accomplished trombone player and principal trombone of the Sousa Band, a role that would later be filled by Arthur Pryor.[4] In 1885 he had partnered with James Warren York in York & Holton, before he established his own company in 1898.[4]

Frank Holton’s wife Florence was a music teacher.[5] They had no children.[6] Frank Holton, though not an instrument maker himself, expanded his company to manufacture instruments[7] which was his occupation until retiring at age 80. Frank Holton died after a protracted illness on April 16, 1942 at the age of 84.[6]

The Frank Holton Company [ edit ]

Chicago [ edit ]

Frank Holton’s first business venture on his own was a small rented shop with a desk, two counters and two chairs that he had to paint himself at Clark and Madison streets in Chicago, in 1898, where he sold used instruments and his own formula slide oil for trombone. Unable to make the rent at times, Holton was known to pawn instruments at a shop on Clark Street between 1898 and 1900.[7]

By 1907, a skilled horn maker had been hired, and the production of Holton instruments required the construction of a factory on the West Side of Chicago.[7] It would be home to Frank Holton & Company for only a decade.

Elkhorn [ edit ]

In April 1918, Holton opened a factory in Elkhorn, Wisconsin moving over 200 employees and 85 carloads of machinery from Chicago. The city had lured Holton to Elkhorn through the efforts of a group of local businessmen, who, acting under city mandate, built the new factory which was turned over to Holton and Co. upon their arrival.[8] That building remained as the core of the Holton factory until the decision in 2008 to merge Holton horn production with King and Conn instruments in Eastlake, Ohio.

While the factory had been paid for by the city of Elkhorn, the cost of training skilled labor resulted in the first profits there not being seen until 1920.[4]

Along with machinery and employees, Holton brought the company band to Elkhorn[8] which would quickly merge with the storied Elkhorn Band, which had been founded in 1840 by Charles Seelye only 3 years after the town of Elkhorn itself. The band had served as the 12th Regimental Band from 1861 to 1864 during the Civil War.[7]

Already building a full line of high-end brass instruments, Holton recognized the growth of music in the schools and began selling student-line instruments built by other workshops under the trade names Pertin and Beaufort. Holton also began production of saxophones in the late Chicago days, and would remain in production of such instruments into the post World War II era. Holton saxophones never enjoyed the reputation or sales of their competitors C.G. Conn, Buescher, Martin, or King, but generate interest for the idiosyncratic keywork on some early models.[9][10] In the early 1930s the Holton Collegiate line of student horns was introduced, which would last through the 1970s.[11] After 2004 the defunct Collegiate line was re-introduced by Conn-Selmer under their Holton brand, again targeting a balance of quality and price suitable for school music programs.[4]

In addition to building the company in Elkhorn, Frank Holton also built a subdivision of 5 and 6 room bungalows in 1919. The 25 homes were priced in the $3,000 to $4,000 range.[12]

Post Frank Holton [ edit ]

After retiring, at age 82 Frank Holton sold the company to employee William Kull. The company was run from that point forward by sales manager Elliot Kehl, though Kull would retain the title CEO until he died in 1944.

During World War II, the company performed defense work, as did most all instrument manufacturers. Following the war, Elliot Kehl secured a controlling interest in the company and began development of several new products including the Farkas Model French horn and a new line of saxophones.[4] The Stratodyne was Holton’s top line saxophone from 1948 to 1958 and the last model sold as a professional saxophone by Holton.[10]

Holton became the supplier for Leblanc’s Vito line of student-line brasswinds and (briefly) saxophones in 1951. Leblanc acquired Holton in 1964 and phased out the Collegiate saxophone line in favor of their Vito-branded instruments.[13] The Collegiate brand for brasswinds was terminated in 1980. From 1971 on, Leblanc used the Martin Committee brand on some Holton model brasswinds.

Under Conn-Selmer [ edit ]

Leblanc was acquired by Conn-Selmer in 2004. In 2008, the Elkhorn factory was closed and production was moved to the Eastlake, Ohio plant that produces King and C.G. Conn brasswinds.[14] Conn-Selmer currently produces Holton-branded cornets, trumpets, french horns, trombones, and slide and valve oil.[15] Some of the featured products built during the post-acquisition period include:

The Holton Collegiate and New Collegiate line of student brasswinds

and line of student brasswinds The Maynard Ferguson trumpet series

trumpet series The Farkas Model French horn

French horn The Merker-Matic series of French horns

series of French horns The Harvey Phillips Model tubas

tubas Frank Holton’s trombone slide oil (the original formulation) and valve oil

Holton artists [ edit ]

The Holton company relied on endorsement by leading artists as one of its primary marketing tools. Often these artists collaborated on the design of instruments that they would then play and promote. Some would subsequently leave Holton to build instruments themselves.[4]

Among these were :

Not all ventures with artists were successful. The Holton Falcone Model baritone horn, developed at the end of the 1970s with input from the namesake of the Leonard Falcone International Tuba and Euphonium Festival was dropped after only a short run when Leonard Falcone refused to endorse or play on the production version. There is no record of the popular 1920s saxophone player Rudy Wiedoeft ever having played on his namesake instrument produced by Holton.

How To Tell The Age Of A Trumpet? (Solved!)

How To Tell The Age Of A Trumpet? (Solved!)

Just because something is old doesn’t mean that it no longer has any value.

In fact, many musicians will tell you that the vintage status of a trumpet, or its previous owner, could double its value and make it a collectible item.

Telling how old your trumpet is can help you figure out where it came from and what the value of it might be.

It is important not to write off old trumpets just because they aren’t shiny and brand new anymore:

Telling the Age of Your Trumpet:

Trumpets will usually have a serial number on either side of their center valve. Depending on the brand, the serial number can tell you when or where the trumpet was made, allowing you to determine its vintage status and age. It also proves that it is a legitimate trumpet from that company.

What Indicates the Age of a Trumpet?

Serial numbers are a great way to tell the age of a trumpet.

Depending on the serial number and company, you can learn a lot about your model. For example, a Bach trumpet from 1926 may have a #500 serial number.

This would be one of the oldest models of the Bach line.

If it has a longer serial number, such as #175000, that would indicate it is much newer, such as from 1980 in this case.

If you are in the market for a historic trumpet and want to make sure that you are getting the real thing, research the serial numbers of the brand you are buying and cross-check that with the serial number on the instrument.

If the serial number is scratched off, incorrect to what it should be, or missing entirely, you may not want to buy that trumpet.

That isn’t to say that accidents won’t happen, but it will be hard to determine that trumpet’s real age if you aren’t an expert.

You can also tell the age of a trumpet by the material that they are made from. Silver-plated trumpets are older than your average 1950s brass trumpet, and anything made from animal parts (horn, bones, etc.) is most likely an ancient instrument or something recently crafted by hand to look historic.

Using the instrument’s materials helps you get a ballpark idea of the age, but a serial number will give you the exact year or decade it was made.

Where Do I Find the Serial Number on Trumpets?

The serial number on trumpets are located on either side of their center valves.

This is common among trumpets vs. trombones, which are located on the slide receiver on the instrument’s body. They can also be located on the mouthpiece receiver on the trombone.

Trumpets are unique in that their serial numbers are on the valve. However, some trumpets will have serial numbers printed next to the mouthpiece.

This would be on the pipe wherein the mouthpiece is inserted.

If you can’t find the serial number or it has been damaged, you might want to get the trumpet appraised to find its real age or value.

Do All Trumpets Have Serial Numbers?

Not all trumpets will still retain their serial numbers after many years of use or abuse.

For example, a trumpet from a historic war may definitely have lost a lot of its polish and even its serial number, making it incredibly difficult to tell when or where it was made.

Other trumpets might have been handcrafted or made by a hobbyist who wanted to take a shot at making their own instrument. This would definitely not have a serial number, as it was not created in a factory and wouldn’t need to be documented in that way.

If you buy a handcrafted trumpet, but the seller claims that it is a Bach or other brand of the trumpet, check for a serial number and make sure there is one.

Finally, factory errors or mis-stamped trumpets could definitely lead to missing serial numbers. Therefore, a legitimate trumpet may not always have its serial number due to an error.

This would be another reason to take your trumpet to an appraiser to have it dated or checked for legitimacy properly.

What are Old Trumpets Made Of?

The very first trumpet instruments or horns were made from natural material such as:

bones

wood

bamboo,

clay

or any number of materials that early humans had at their disposal to make a lot of noise.

In ancient Greece, trumpets such as those were used in war or to signal danger, fire, royal decrees, and announcements, or even incoming attacks. Bronze and silver trumpets were even discovered in King Tut’s tomb in Egypt!

In the case of this article, however, vintage or first-edition trumpets were made from unlacquered brass-composite materials or even from solid brass. Some 1930s trumpets had plated silver in their construction.

Other trumpets were made from expensive materials, such as gold, sterling silver, or copper. These were known to make a very unique sound and timbre that resembles that of today’s brass trumpet, which became the preferred metal in trumpet construction.

Not to mention that solid gold or gold and silver-plated trumpets would have been heavier and made a different sound than the one you are probably used to in the modern trumpet.

Are Old Trumpets Worth More than New Trumpets?

Vintage trumpets can be worth a lot of money if you are selling them in the right place.

There are plenty of vintage trumpets up for auction on sites like eBay, but the really valuable trumpets are the ones that are sold in antique auctions in places like Christie’s Auction, which is an auction house and society that was founded in 1766.

For example, one of the most expensive trumpets ever auctioned was Miles Davis’ Moon and Stars trumpet, which sold for $275,000 at Christie’s Auction.

Now, this is definitely an outlier.

The trumpet you’ve had sitting in your attic from the 1930s might have value because it is the first edition, but the price will not come near that of a famous trumpet player from the past.

If your trumpet was played in a World War, by a famous musician, or was owned by a famous royal or aristocrat, perhaps that valued price could go up.

However, your basic vintage trumpet, even with the right buyer, wouldn’t be nearly as valuable as new trumpets, which can cost upwards of $3,000.

When is a Trumpet Too Old to Be of Any Use?

Even trumpets from the 1930s can still work, have air pass through them, and make a sound – but is that considered “useful?”

Almost any trumpet, even a trumpet made from a horn in ancient human history, can still produce some sound. However, you wouldn’t use that trumpet at an official band concert or musical performance, would you?

More often than not, an old trumpet that no longer “works” or makes any sound results from the trumpet valves blocking airflow or being badly positioned for the proper sound to appear. There is also the possibility that a trumpet from World War II took so much damage or abuse that it no longer works because of blockages or damages.

Even new trumpets can suffer from improper construction, factory errors, or badly positioned valves. If your trumpet isn’t making a sound, consider getting it looked at or repaired.

However, just because your 1930s trumpet produces a sound, that doesn’t mean it will be as clear or beautiful as when it was first created.

Yes, it does.

Quote: What does the engraving on the bell appear like?

“MF Horn” is italic looking. The bell says

HOLTON

ELKHORN WIS. USA

BTW, I just forgot to mention that I do know, of course, that this is an LT302, in case that’s what you were trying to find out… the S/N is 876XXX, if that helps.

I appreciate any info you can give me.

all the best,

Leadherent

Posted: Thu Mar 25, 2010 8:00 pm Post subject: Hello Leadherent:

Sorry about the delay in responding. Here’s what my thoughts are:

1. I wanted to know about the tuning slide/engraving because this seems to indicate later models, at least in my experience

2. I currently have a similar horn, not a LT302, however. Mine is an ST302, and has a “square” tuning slide, like a Bach. The serial number is 831XXX, actually, it’s very Bach-like in several ways, from the valves, the top caps and playing characteristics. It’s from around 1986. Your horn, having a pretty similar serial (within 45k), is probably about a year or two newer, I would surmise. Mine has block letter engraving, and yours, if italicized, is newer by all indications that I have seen. Also, my horn has amati water keys; all of these differences, the tuning slide, valves/valve body/top caps, and water keys are indigenous to the 80’s era MF Horns. None of the 70’s MF’s that I’ve owned or seen have had these items.

I hope this helps. Let me know if I can help in any other way. Maybe a fellow TH member might have a better perspective on yearly production at that point with Holton, but I don’t know of a reliable source with this information yet.

Thanks for the info!

So what you are saying is that probably the most precise dating we can give is to say that my horn is “late 80’s” vintage? This would even be sufficient for me.

Do you know if the presence of amado water keys in your horn is an ST/LT difference or does it have to do with a production date? My LT302 has regular water keys.

Thank you for your help.

In my opinion, yes, this would be a late 80’s horn. Now, as for the amati water keys, they’re on my ST304 (later 70’s), and the ST302 from 1986. The earlier 302’s don’t have them, nor did the ST550 that I once had, and that was from the mid 90’s. I also realize that doesn’t answer your question! I’m not sure if the LT302 would have had the amati water keys. I do understand that the weight savings on the LT was found in the slides, but perhaps the water keys were part of the weight savings too. I would be curious to play both back to back, to see the difference between the two. Have you ever played a regular ST302? I always thought they were pretty “lightweight” certainly compared to something like the Connstellation, which could be used as a hammer, or a doorstop for example. At any rate, I hope this helps.
