Hakam Din & Sons ”La Petite” Pocket Trumpet
Serial No. 7388 • c60s-70’s

This silver plated example was made specifically for a New York CIty dealership, and is so engraved on the bell. The presence of a 5-digit zip code in the dealer address indicates manufacture after 1965 or so.  It appears that Hakam Din began making pocket cornets following World War II, and continues to make them today.

While I feel a Hakam Din pocket trumpet is a legitimate addition to a vintage pocket collection, I would not suggest one for use primarily as a player. I am only selling this as I have two at this time.

This has been cleaned and polished, and does not come with case or trumpet mouthpiece.

SOLD E.M. Winston • Boston • c2000

Winston evidently imports these instruments, probably from Taiwan or China. I would say the quality is decent and the instrument is quite playable – but not up to the construction or playing quality of Jupiter.

From what I can tell, Winston no longer sells pocket trumpets.

This could be decent low-cost choice for somebody who wants an occasional player or travel horn for practicing.  I did a few adjustments to the valves and springs on this one before I was satisfied. All slides are free and greased, and all corks/felts have been replaced.  The lacquer is in very good condition. One gentle dent was removed from the bell crook.

The trumpet comes with a generic 7C mouthpiece and vinyl gig bag.
