Only FEW samples of these
Impedance Regulators SELMER TRUMPETS FERRON Model
were manufactured by SELMER.
(Please consult the history in the Selmer Site)
This outstanding model was issued by the research led
by Mr Ernest FERRON, a French worldwide well-known acoustician (1925/1999).
As mentioned in the SELMER Web Site, the only discovery in 1983 of his invention was
applied by SELMER on some WIND INSTRUMENTS (including the Trumpets).
These instruments at once met a large success with the rare professionals
who had the opportunity to try and to acquire them.
Unfortunately, the extremely high cost of this manufacture
let no chance to manufacture these trumpets on a large scale.
*
In its time, this instrument was bought by a profesional musician about 30.000 french francs
i.e. about 3.500 euros - about the three-time amount of a Selmer Trumpet at the moment.

Paris SELMER COMPANY let us know
THAT USUALLY, their Departments were used to keep at least one piece of every model they have issued;
but in the present case, unfortunately they have no sample at all of this Model -
manufactured - as they said - according their records in a few pieces only.
Every spare part of these samples were all manufactured originally in the SELMER Workshops
UNDER MR Ernest FERRON'S CONTROL.
