Rare Couesnon Monopole F/G Trumpet, Lacquer - Boyde Hood Collection

Couesnon Monopole F/G Trumpet #37xxx

This Couesnon Monopole F/G trumpet is a rare example of the French high-trumpet tradition and one of the more unusual specialty instruments from the Boyde Hood Collection.

Built as part of Couesnon’s professional Monopole line, this instrument is configured in F and G, giving it a distinctive place in the development of high trumpets before the modern piccolo trumpet became the standard solution for this repertoire.

This example is in excellent condition and carries serial number 37xxx. Remarkably, another documented Couesnon Monopole F/G trumpet exists just one serial number away, providing unusually strong confirmation of the model and configuration.

With its uncommon pitch arrangement, professional Monopole construction, excellent condition, and provenance from Boyde Hood, this is an especially interesting instrument for both artists and collectors.
