Please note that there are a FEW exceptions to this chart. Some of the modern Buescher labeled trumpets from the 1970-present that have serial numbers that do not correspond to this chart. Most seem to have the 'Upsidedown Nike' Bell Logo and are model BU-7. Selmer must have done a serial number 'reset' at some point.Ģ) I have also noticed some of the 1960s 'Side Scroller' and possibly 'Top Scroller' logoed trumpets/cornets that have serial numbers in the 100,000 range. ACG, Thanks to everyone who took the time to send updates I have included all that I received.

These obviously are NOT subject to this serial number chart. These are most likely mid to late 1960s instruments.ģ) Most (if not all) Buescher trumpets that have the 'ELK' logo have a separate serial number listing.

The Valveīlock on these instruments are made by Elkhart and thus have a completely different numbering system.Īny Trumpet or Cornet with the engraving of an ELK (see below) will NOT match up on the Buescher Serial number list. They also bear the inscription 'BUILT BY BUESCHER'. These instruments had their OWN serial numbering system. Most were made post World War II possibly up to 1960. If you see one of these horns and the owner is claiming they are from the 1920s or 1930s or before, then they are using the wrong serial number chart. I do not know if an Elkhart Serial number list exists or not.īig Thanks to Dr Rick's Vinllage Flute and Sax Shop website for providing some of the serial numbers and years produced. #MURAMATSU SERIAL NUMBER LIST SERIAL NUMBERS# I also gathered information for this page from website that cites Albert Mensinga as the source for MANY of the serial numbers. Thus, FPS will not devalue any instrument in the stock, nor will turn out to be included in cost wars.

If you happen to have any additional information that would make this chart MORE accurate, please feel free to email me.
