Here is how to insert letters with accents in any text.



There are 1,000's more but these are the most used I think.

Maybe none of them. It was made in Czechoslovakia. Looks like just a horizontal line. The cornet was probably made for a retailer named Barlufe, somewhere, and sometime between WWI and WWII. I can't find out anything about who or what Barlufe was other than one reference to a French made clarinet with the same name added to it.

The Czechs made lots of instruments for the retail trade all over the world. Once upon a time there were a number of relatively large music stores in the larger cities and they would offer multiple lines of instruments. The bottom on the price list would often be instruments made for them by manufacturers with whatever house name they wanted on it. Part of the reason for this was to keep more distance from the higher priced "name brands" that may have been essentially the same, but with a little more gilt of one sort or the other.

I used to do the same sort of thing with bedding labels in the furniture business... and it continues today in a lot of product areas.
