This model 1049 was manufactured in high pitch with low
pitch slides, two mouthpieces, lyre, and cornet to trumpet
mouthpiece adapter.
The Liberty model was Henderson N. White's favorite trumpet. From this one trumpet, many variations and models emerged.
The Miniature Liberty and the Naked Lady Liberty trumpets were of limited production. The Silvertone and Silversonic
trumpets are Liberty models with sterling silver bells. The Silvertone was the first sterling bell trumpet with the Silversonic
following. The first Liberty trumpets were designed with a double crescent main tuning brace,  followed by the square brace,
single bar brace, and last, the oval brace.

The early Liberty models were designed with the Besson style, forward canting second slide. The
later models were designed with the standard rearward canting second slide.

"The Liberty model cannot be changed

Liberty (brass or silver
