| 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.
