I purchased a trumpet at a garage sale this weekend for $10, I was told it originally cost over $1000.
I don't know much at all about trumpets, but wanted one and couldn't pass up the price. I want to know what if it's worth fixing up and reselling, or if I should just enjoy a cheap trumpet-
Here's what I know:
1- It's purple with silver and gold colored slides.
2- Etched into the bell it says "Harmony since 1892".
3- On the left side of the second valve are three numbers- they are a bit unclear- the first two are either "0" or "9" and the last one is definitely a "9"- maybe serial number "999"?
4- The mouth piece is VERY stuck.
