On this page the Mellophones and Altos are arranged by there title given in the catalog. It appears that some of the instruments shared names or changed names all together. This page is designed to show the first known year of production (based on my catalogs) and any changes that are made over the production cycle of the instruments including model numbers and any unique specifications. In the production years of 1893-1910 it is important to consider that production of trumpets and cornets stated slowly and that the serial number list may not be 100% accurate, and that the company did not have "considerable" production until 1905. Please note all the "www.hnwhite.com" watermarks on the catalog pages, sellers from www.ebay.com have used information inaccurately and without permission from this website and it is essential that buyers know the source of information. Sellers may use watermarked catalog pages, please do not edit out the website address. This website strives to provide the best information possible. |
