I recently invested in a new bass so unfortunately I need to let some things go to help pay for that. I purchased this horn several years ago to learn alto and haven't played it more than a few dozen times. I recently made the switch to playing bass most of the time so I have a feeling my alto-playing days are behind me.
This is one of the original small bore Wessex altos, not the later large bore model. The slide is probably an 8/10, no worse than it left the factory, and overall the horn is in excellent condition with no more than a couple of lacquer blemishes to indicate that it was ever played at all. This would make an excellent first alto, or backup/loaner for a serious pro.
Bore: .480
Bell: 7.5" Gold Brass
Slide: Lightweight, all-nickel construction w/o oversleeves
Includes: original soft-sided hard case and two leadpipes -- Stock "Wessex" and Stauffer Brass replacement pipe (now discontinued)
