For sale is my beautiful Michael Davis model. I'm the 2nd owner, and it's nearly new.

The slide is a 10/10, and hasn't seen any abuse. The bell is dent free.

Pictures below

Asking price: $2,500

Such a nice horn, but why do people keep selling it? Are there any eccentricities?

It's a wonderful horn, and it plays the way I want it to. I'm moving overseas and trying to cut down on space.

Don't know of anyone else selling one. On the other hand, I've seen a lot of 891z on the used market.

I love my MD+. Gets even better with a bigger leadpipe, depending on what you're looking for of course. Intonation is great, slotting is great, tone is a little bright compared to other 508s, which would be the only quality even close to an "eccentricity" I've noticed. Could be used in a wide range of situations, depending on the mouthpiece and leadpipe. This one offered here appears to be in great condition.
