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.

Hi there,

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

Thanks,

Gord
