| Description | OLDLOUL: Made in Varington, Ill. Equal to Martin Committee and has same unusual wrap that Olds used on his Special, having the main tuning slide extending forward from the short curved leadpipe. This tuning slide is formed in a sharp curve, making it look like an additional third valve tuning slide.
I just discovered that my Wm. Frank Biltmore cornet is built on the same unusual wrap as the pictured American Prep cornet pictured on this site. The major differences, as far as I can tell from the picture is that my Biltmore has nickel plated tuning slides, including the curve of each slide. The bracing from the valve body to the leadpipe and to the bellpipe are nickel sheet stock. Likewise the tube to tube bracing of all of the outer slide tubes is nickel sheet stock. This looks much like what Getzen did on their mod. 80,90, and Super Deluxe trumpets and cornets. |
