DescriptionGold-plated brass, satin finish with burnished highlights (ferrules, braces, bell interior, valve caps, finger buttons, and areas of bell engraving), mother-of-pearl inlay (finger buttons), single loop, main tuning slide at first bow, quick-change rotary valve with internal stop for A (perpendicular to main tubing), three Périnet valves (1, ½, 1½ ), top-sprung, spring inside hollow stem, alignment by three lugs on spring anchor plate, nickel-plated brass pistons, single water key at main tuning slide, windway 3-2-1.
In the early 1920s, Buescher offered three trumpet models with rotary valve quick-change to A: Model 11 (1921), Model 12 (ca. 1922), and Model 13 (ca. 1923). In all these models, the rotary-valve quick-change was placed perpendicular to the main tubing; they were principally the same. The stamp found on this trumpet appears to indicate that it was sold as Model 11, low pitch.
