I’ve ended up in possession of my great-grandfather’s… Baritone? Euphonium? I think it may be a new entry for the site (3-valve, Couesnon & Cie, from between 1899 and 1900) but as is probably obvious from me not knowing what instrument it actually is, I’m looking to get some actual expertise 🙂

Welcome Cyrene,
We love to see pictures. There is not much time between 1899 and 1900, but possibly you meant 1889 and 1900, as those are the two most common dates used in the bell engravings. Am I correct in assuming yours has 1889 on it?

Welcome Ukeman.
Sorry, but I have no idea what you are talking about.

CDFhorn is not exactly a new member, but he has just joined the new forum. Welcome!
MichaelCuivre has joined the Communicator. He says: "I am a lifelong flute player currently transitioning to cornet because of a hand issue. I have some early experience of cornet but it went nowhere. I now know it was due to a defective rental instrument. Much regret."
Welcome!
Welcome!
Just saw the bit about the "town name" - it might be "town band", due to B being left of N, and M being left of N [on US keyboards]
I'm curious what those 1880s instruments are!

CFHorn, I was thinking the same thing and I had hoped that Ukeman would come back and clarify.
Yes, that makes sense.
But we need more info.
What is the town's (band) name? What instruments did survive? And most important, what do they look like? Pictures, we want pictures!
