According to Stewart, Boyde Hood acquired this trumpet directly from Gerard Schwarz several decades ago.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2651\" data-end=\"3007\"\u003eBuilt by Frank Holton \u0026amp; Co. in 1947, this C trumpet features a bore measuring approximately .458\" and a bell that was considered large for C trumpets of the period. Stewart notes that the wider bell flare gives these Holton C trumpets a broader, darker tone than the traditional French-style C trumpets often associated with mid-century orchestral playing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3009\" data-end=\"3381\"\u003eGerard Schwarz’s remarkable career as a trumpeter, conductor, and musical leader gives this instrument a compelling provenance. Schwarz studied with William Vacchiano, performed with the American Brass Quintet and American Symphony Orchestra, and later served as co-principal trumpet of the New York Philharmonic before becoming one of America’s most prominent conductors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3383\" data-end=\"3541\"\u003eThis is a rare opportunity to acquire a vintage Holton C trumpet with documented ownership by Gerard Schwarz and later placement in the Boyde Hood Collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3543\" data-end=\"3632\"\u003eRead Robb Stewart’s museum write-up here:\u003cbr data-start=\"3584\" data-end=\"3587\"\u003e\u003ca data-start=\"3587\" data-end=\"3632\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"decorated-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.robbstewart.com\/holton-c-trumpets?utm_source=chatgpt.com\"\u003ehttps:\/\/www.robbstewart.com\/holton-c-trumpets\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Holton","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42744941477982,"sku":"holton-c-used","price":2400.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0066\/1002\/6548\/files\/HoltonC-1.jpg?v=1778190598","url":"https:\/\/trumpetmouthpiece.com\/products\/gerard-schwarz-1947-holton-c-trumpet-boyde-hood-collection","provider":"Bob Reeves Brass","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
