| This is a custom-made large bore (0.463") trumpet based on the Keefer-Williams model. Unusual octagonal top section on the valve casings and late design engraving matching the Intonatic model. This was possibly made after the war as James Keefer says that there were some made to order and that Art Magliocco, a second-generation horn maker, did any repairs up until the 1960 fire. | |||||||

| OLdLOU: The York "Custom Trumpet" shown as reply # 11 is a twin to one that I currently own and play often. This model is identical to my York Master Model trumpet in overall design and manufacture. The major differences are in the materials used and the cosmetic,(?) additions on the Master model, which has a bronze bell with a 1" nickel silver Kranz ring,( tone ring ). They are both superlative instruments. When I worked at the York plant we saw a very few of these come through for factory repairs and they were called "those German made Yorks". I now wonder who actually made them. | |||||||
