Description: The trumpet measures 14.5 inches long and the bell is 4.5 inches wide. The information below was taken from the JW Pepper Blog:You won’t see a lot of Pepper instruments out in the world these days. All told, the company only manufactured instruments for less than 30 years. During that time, however, Pepper led the way in innovation, creating new accessories, perfecting techniques, and even inventing a new instrument.Pepper began factory operations in the early 1880s with the Superior First Class line of instruments. This line was made in collaboration with Henri Distin, a celebrated brass instrument manufacturer out of London, England. Distin continued working with Pepper throughout the 1880s and ‘90s, contributing to some of the most popular lines of instruments. In 1888, Pepper also brought in Alexander LeForrestier to be the superintendent of bell making. The combined efforts of these experts and J.W. Pepper himself earned the company several high honors over the decade that followed, including the highest medal and diploma for craftsmanship at the Chicago World’s Fair in 1883.In 1910, J.W. Pepper & Son ceased producing instruments and shifted entirely to importing them from Europe. While the time Pepper spent manufacturing was short in comparison to the company’s 140-year history, those days have nevertheless left a deep imprint on both the company and the musical world.
