This horn has SOME minor (barely noticed) wear/blemishes but it is STUNNING. It plays beautifully but it is definitely a conversation started and head Turner on the bandstand as well. Minor blemishes from previous owner around hand position (under bell by valves, top of lead pipe by valves)…I’m assuming the owner wore rings. There are also (very) small dings in lead pipe near the mouthpiece (PICTURED) and on the bell in the crook and near the bell flare (pictured but barely noticeable)
Comes with Bach 1c equivalent mouthpiece. You’ll have to call Austin custom brass or adams to make another size if you need it. BEAUTIFUL purple valve buttons. SATIN lacquer is gorgeous. And it plays like a dream.
I’m letting go of this horn because I’m going back to commercial playing and need a horn thats more suitable for that environment. This is typically a ,000 horn so this price (because it’s used is a steal as well).
I have videos playing this horn on my Instagram @iam_sheldonquick if you want to hear it in a jazz/improv setting etc.
