All reasonable offers considered New prices for parts given for context.
I’ve had the horn for about 12 years. Plays great. Slide is a 9/10. It has suffered from normal lacquer wear over the years so I refinished it with a satin finish. It has a few small dents in the bell and one on the main tuning slide but they are only cosmetic. It is a 12 year old horn so it does not look new. Take a look at the pictures. If you happen to be in the Metro Detroit area, I’m sure we could arrange a chance to play test it.
Bell (Shires Bell Price $1,380 at Hornguys)
Edwards 336CF
8 ½” inch
22 gauge
Yellow Brass
Soldered Rim
Tempered
Double Buffed
Shires fittings. You could switch the bell with a Shires but this bell would not fit an Edwards horn.
Slide – ($1,330 at Hornguys)
.547 bore
Standard weight yellow brass
Nickel-Silver wide crook
Valve – ($1,910 at Hornguys)
Tru-bore valve
Custom Satin Trombone finish

Hi there,
Because of its age, I would give you $2300 for the horn let me know.
Thanks,
Gord

I don’t think I could go that low on it. Thanks for taking a look.

Nice horn. I used to play a similar setup. Good luck with the sale!
Anyway, I'm inquiring about one of your other ads:
