Couesnon - - Trombone - France - 1926

French silver-plated trombone by Couesnon & Cie, Paris, manufactured in 1926, with an old formed wooden case. Professionally shipped – over 950 five-star reviews worldwide. The bell is extensively engraved with, among others, “Exposition Universelle de Paris 1900”, “Hors Concours – Membre du Jury”, “Fournisseurs de l’Armée” and the address 94 Rue d’Angoulême, Paris. The number 26 in the distinctive grenade-shaped hallmark dates the instrument to 1926. Couesnon was, at the beginning of the 20th century, one of the major French manufacturers of wind instruments and supplied instruments to the French army, among others. The trombone was cleaned and the silver-plated surface carefully polished. There are signs of use and localized wear of the silvering. The slide moves, but the instrument has not been professionally tested for playability. The wooden case has the original hardware and handle and was reupholstered with dark red felt. The wood shows aging and wear. Due to warping of the wood, the case does not fully close in places. See photos for the condition. Ships with track & trace
