Virtually all the keyed-bugles we\'ve seen have been English: copper bodies, brass keys.
This one\'s all brass, totally original with no missing parts, no major damage anywhere.
The maker is Jean-Baptiste Tabard (born in Lyon, 1779, died in Lyon in 1845). Woodwinds from this maker are numerous....we\'ve a couple of them now in our safe. Brasses are more rare, especially keyed brasses.
We\'ve burnished out some of the minor bell dings, replaced pads and the instrument is now in top playing condition.
Quite original, very rare. Seems to us that every \"original instrument\" ensemble should have one...
Ah, yes.... Key of B-flat. Original long tuning slide (at the mouthpiece receiver\" means you can play in the key of A, should it be necessary.
Please see more pictures at the bottom of our Band Instrument Company is a small musical instrument emporium located in the center of the USA. We’ve been in business since 1953 and have had the same owner since 1963. Originally we were a repair shop that specialized in woodwind and sax restoration. Today we have 16 employees including eight of the finest repair technicians in the country. Virtually ALL the items we sell have been fully reconditioned in our own shop, although we do sell a few unrestored historical instruments each year.
Wichita Band Instrument Company maintains a repair department capable of restoration work of the highest quality. Even though repairs are essentially “free” for the first two years, after that period has expired, we remain at your service to maintain and repair your musical equipment forever. It’s our “service after the sale” promise and has been since 1953!
In the event that a customer requires service under factory guarantees or Wichita Band’s service warranty, the item must be returned to us and not directly to the manufacturer.
Anything we sell can be sent to you for a short approval period without obligation. We collect NO SALES TAX, unless you’re lucky enough to live in Kansas. The customer is responsible for shipping and insurance and must pre-pay back to us any freight and insurance charges on returned equipment.
International shipping is available. Returned items will be refunded within 2 weeks of receiving the item. We’re happy to send any instrument “on approval” for five days, but ask the prospective buyer to pay shipping both ways and to reimburse us for restocking charges (if you pay with credit card, 2.95%) on any returned instrument.
authorized payment methods:
PayPal or credit/debit card processed through our internet merchant account.
Buyers outside of the USA are responsible for all import duties and customs clearance charges in their respective countries. We may refuse paypal and/or credit card payments from some countries.
Other new, reconditioned, and vintage band instruments available. Our specialties are new clarinets from Buffet, Selmer or LeBlanc as well as re-built and vintage instruments from the same firms. Rebuilt crack-free altos and basses are usually available.
We’re happy to correspond with musicians, players, parents and enthusiasts of all types. Written appraisals are always available, but please don’t write or telephone and ask “what’s granny’s baritone sax worth?” Do an search and you’ll be able to learn more than we could ever tell you! .
Feel free to call or e-mail for any additional information.
