Links are in RED. There is a wealth of data here - if you can't find what you need please contact me. Please explore the main menu buttons below. It is very difficult in 15 menu items to encompass the full depth of this site, especially when they stood the test of time. So I have added this page of links and explanation which should help the serious browser or researcher. |

I have closed my facebook page out of frustration with the whole thing. The UI sucks, the rate of update is insane, I just don't want other people adding stuff that is nothing to do with Ear Trumpets. And the number of 'boxes' that FB adds is just plain stupid. |

Favourites I was asked to add a list of my favourites in the collection on Curiosity, with the reasons why they qualified. |

Search There are a host of ways to find information on this website. Having found a single trumpet page the picture is accompanied by all the published details with links to more information. There are two pages showing the whole collection item by item: 1 Newer style - fast page, suits smaller screens with item by item browsing and it allows search by the collection buy no. 2 Traditional - This version sorts and displays 6 or all the trumpets with up to 7 picture thumbnails per trumpet but loads slowly. Search pictures - allows search masks and display order Search text - does that in just the trumpet database fields Search all - uses a Google search for all pages on the website Search manual - Enter a list of trumpet numbers to display, this allows comparison of any 2 or more trumpets. I have been storing prices at auction and elsewhere since Feb 2104, over 1000 lines in this data set. If you want to know at what price trumpets are being offered and sold this may help. I have also studied how prices are varying at auction. See catalogues search above |
