The primary material on this instrument is lacquered yellow brass. This horn features all of the original components from its manufacturing, including the original European lead pipe (Small shank adapter included). The valves and slides move with ease (first valve just needs a little bit of oil). Water key pads maintain a solid seal. The lyre socket is still in tact with the horn, along with the screw to go along with it. There's some wrinkling on the backside of the bell, along with some blemishes where the lacquer had worn off, however this is the original lacquer from its manufacturing.
This would be an excellent charmer to add to your collection, and it is still in great playing condition. This horn has been played in collegiate concert setting for the past 6 years, and continues to produce an amazing quality of sound.
I'm looking to sell this at $3,800, or best offer!
