Dear Eric,
This one is (virtually
) for you!
I have found this nice little "trompette de poche" in one of those shops which are taking advantage of the proximity to "Salle Pleyel" in Paris. I had taken the picture thinking it will be one day for you. It is the good occasion to deliver it to you I guess.
friendly,

I used to have one of those. It plays horribly out of tune; sharp on one note and flat on the adjacent one. It was a fun toy but not much more.
This will be my next purchase, after the house is paid off first...

Woao! Classy!
and please forget la "trompette de poche"
I played drums in my youth. Now I filmed them

@ Boofredlay: A shiny kit! How to spend your time cleaning fingerprints...
Here is my main kit, called "Germaine":

That sawblade must be hell on sticks. But probably great tone.

I "played" the trumpet when I was 12 or so. Mostly annoyed the neighbors with it. After about a year and a half the school's band instructor told my parents I should take up something quiet like painting.

I have been playing all my life. Currently I have a 70's Martin D-28, a 1936 Dobro (wood, and a real gem), A Guild archtop, and a couple of acoustics I built. The neck actually got amputated from one during our recent move.
Still dabble in songwriting, but recently only instrumentals.
This Picture is of the longest running band I was in, Joshua Hill. Taken sometime in June of 69 according to the poorly scanned photo, during our country rock phase. (damn I'm old)

Dale, would that be a Fender Coronado in that picture? Never played one, but drooled over them back in the day.

Not sure I understand?
Unless you are making a joke then it was only 2cc and could only reach about 3km/hr.The pocket trumpet I had was a Jupiter. I paid around $200 for it in 1987. I used it in a couple solos on stage while touring Europe, used it a couple more times after our return then promptly sold it. I understand some of the newer ones play rather well though.

You nailed it. Discontinued in the early 70's. Typical Fender headstock. All other semi hollow bodies of the day had that blocky Gibson like headstock.
After John Lennon used his Epiphone Casino to record the White Album and Let it Be, semi hollows were all the rage, and it is said this was Fenders entry into that market.
