AboutMike Pawul Expertise I am familiar with most trumpets, cornets, and flugelhorns. I can answer most questions about playing and musicality. Best of all, if I can't answer it directly I play regularly in five bands and have several "old timers" that are familiar with most things that I am not. I collect, repair, and refinish old horns and have sold over 350 with more than 230 on ebay
Experience I have played since 1965 and studied with many directors and trumpeters. I have been collecting since 2002 and have over 150 horns in my personal collection. I have done repair and refinsh since 2003 and have done over 500 horns.

Question I recently purchased a Dynasty trumpet at a garage sale of all places. It was used in a marching band. I am trying to find a model # so I can get additional info, but am unable to find anything other than E 6719 on one of the valves and 350 near the mouthpiece receiver. Is there generally a model number stamped somewhere on the instrument?
Thank you
Answer Bob. Dynasty horns have been made by several sources. Contact them and they can probably tell you when it was made and by whom. Here is the website: http://www.dynastybi.com/
The serial number is the E6719 and I believe the model number is 350. The current catalog shows a model 354 G bugle.
