Rare Jones-Koeder Majestic Trumpet. Serial no. 1252, his horn was likely produced in the early 1930’s after the merger of instrument maker T.M. Kieffer and business man Howard Jones. Koeder was trained and employed in the Holton and Blessing shops and began producing his own instruments in the early 1920’s.
This is a heavy horn with a warm focused sound. It is free of dents and red rot and does not seem to have been played much. It features an adjustable pinky ring and still has the lyre rod attached.
Background:
An avid cornet and trumpet collector, Gerald Endsley owned over 200 rare instruments dating from the mid-1800s to the present, as well as all the mouthpieces listed in this store.
Endsley studied with Roger Voisin at The New England Conservatory before beginning his career 1966, when he won the position of Cornet Soloist with the Denver Municipal Band. He performed as soloist and Principal Cornet until 1995, when he assumed duties as conductor. He also founded the Denver Brass Trio and the Denver Municipal Band Brass Quintet. He was a leading freelance artist and music contractor in the Denver area, and was Second Trumpet of the Denver Symphony Orchestra during the 1978-79 season. He taught trumpet at the University of Denver from 1971 to 1976 and at Denver?s Metropolitan State College from 1978-79, where he later conducted the Metro Community Band from 2005 until his death.
In 1970, Endsley founded Tromba Publications, a company specializing in music for trumpet, cornet, and small brass ensembles. He authored several trumpet texts, including Odd Meter Etudes, Elementary Multiple-Tonguing for Trumpet, Volume One for Trumpet, Advanced Multiple-Tonguing for Trumpet, Comparative Mouthpiece Guide and Survey of the Word ?Trumpet? and Related Terms. Later he formed Endsley Brass Mouthpieces, which provided custom mouthpieces and modifications.
In addition to this collection of mouthpieces, his collection of rare trumpets and cornets is being sold courtesy of Austin Custom Brass. Please visit austincustombrass.com for more info.
