A newspaper devoted to musical instruments...



Item # 701251

September 01, 1877

TRUMPET NOTES, September 1, 1877  No city of publication is listed. The masthead notes: "A Semi-Monthly Paper Devoted to the Interests of Bands and Orchestras", published by C. G. Conn.
A fascinating and presumably very scarce publication as we can find nothing concerning it, and this is the first issue we've encountered in our 48 years.
The content is totally focused on musical instruments with many illustrated, including many of which are instruments no longer made. Almost the entire back page is a print of a cornet, with details noted. 
Eight pages, never bound nor trimmed, 12 by 16 1/2 inches, some foxing at front page folds, minimal margin & fold wear.

Item from our most recent catalog - #356, released for July, 2025
