This is a SalvationArmy manufactured Class A Triumphonic Eb Tenor Horn, serial number25487. It is not possible to date SA instruments precisely as there is no complete list of serial numbers. A surviving volume of a factory register spanning 1925 to 1952 finishes with the number 26609, and so an approximate date of manufacture would be 1950.
Salvation Army brass instruments were made to a high standard and were of very robust build. They tended to be very similar to other British instruments in design, particularly those of Besson (London). This horn has been repaired, cleaned and serviced and is ready to play. It plays in modern pitch A=440.

The valve springs and felts are new, and all slides are free and lubricated. There are some tiny dent remnants, particularly along the bell stack and bell flare, and a fairly shallow indentation on the bottom bow, but all having no bearing on overall appearance and playing qualities. The silver plating is more than 95% intact.
A mouthpiece is provided, and there is an old but serviceable case available. This is a very tidy horn for its age and it plays with a strong, full tone throughout its range. It would be fine for either a beginner or a seasoned player.! Please note that for postage to N. Ireland, Highlands and Islands, the UK postage rate does not apply.
