01958 Piccolo ML Silver BrandonBeck 8/27/08 None N
Not an alteration, but the valvesare stamped "1, 2, 3 & 4."
The serial number is not stampedon the valves. It is the only piccoloso far that does not have a number
stamped on the bell.
I'm not sure where to put this one. I'veseen pictures of the serial number and it isclearly stamped. Los Angeles is stamped
on the bell. My guess is that it was aspecial order, with a special serial number.

The serial number on the side is 214140, butthe valves are stamped 14140 and the model
number is not stamped on the bell, so Ibelieve it's a pre-20,000 trumpet and
that the first digit was an stamping error.
