Question
I have a baritone horn with Ser # C-35045 stamped on the outside of the center valve. I know that pianos can be dated based on their serial number and manufacturer. Is it possible to date this instrument?
Thanks!
The original Cleveland company, started in 1920, put a C on the beginning of their serial numbers, so it would appear that is what you have. White bought Cleveland out in 1925.
So, if there is no reference to White on the horn, that would pretty much confirm that it is one of the originals, and would date it to between 1920-5.

| Comment | Thank you for your prompt response! I'm thinking of having some work done on this horn. I know that it is probably a "student" quality instrument, but I think I could have some fun with it. I graduated from high school in 1967, and have played piano and keyboard for about the past 35 years. | ||

Please note: My area is BRASS instruments, not other wind, string or percussion instruments. I will provide information on antique, obscure and out of production BRASS instruments. 1) Please don't ask for evaluations, I'll not provide them on this site. 2) I am often asked very similar questions, so I'd invite you to first check on Horn-u-Copia.net. Much of the information I have garnered about this topic, I have posted on this WEB site.

I perform in several historical bands, have informally researched the area, repair brass instruments, and operate a Forum dedicated to the topic at http://horn-u-copia.net
