    Abstract:
    Awarded as the 5th prize for the 1926 National Championships Junior Cup (A) contest, the identity of the band which received this Vincent Bach trumpet is unknown, at present. As is the case with some of these contests, the prizes for lower placed bands occasionally were 'worth' more than the higher placed cash prizes. In the Grand Shield that year the 3rd prize was £15 and 4th a tenor horn worth 25 guineas (£26 5s.). In the Junior Cup (A) contest, apart from the trumpet valued at 15 guineas, the 4th prize was a set of music stands and books valued at 17 guineas - against the 3rd prize cash prize of £10.
