Boosey & Co. (1906)

This is a Boosey & Co. Cornet, made around 1906 according to the serial number 70652 on the bell . It plays in High Pitch Bb, but with a longer tuning bit it can play in Modern Pitch Bb; the valve slides have notches in them to adjust for this (although it is possible that the notches are actually intended for High Pitch A, which sounds close to Modern Pitch Bb).

It is currently not in very good playing condition, as the water-keys seem to be misaligned. Apart from this, there are some dents en bends but all slides and valves move well.
