Shank 1 activation serial number6/12/2023 ![]() PROFESSIONAL ANTOINE COURTOIS TRUMPET '301 B5' PRESTIGE serie in C & Bb1998. PROFESSIONAL ANTOINE COURTOIS TRUMPET 301B5 PRESTIGE serie in C & Bb +4 slides - $1,083.45.Serial number is 200XX It has original valves and.455 bore. This fine antique horn is a Jules Levy Model shepherd's crook B-flat cornet made by Antoine Courtois.We will never know the history of this B-flat trumpet's musical life, but we're very fortunate to have some documented history of the other two. My assumption is that Courtois designed this Bb trumpet to more closely match the sound of the orchestral trumpets in F, rather than the cornets. The bore diameter through the bell taper and flare are smaller than in the contemporary cornet-based Besson Bb trumpets, resulting in a brighter, more trumpet like tone.
