I’m probably about to buy a 20 something years old unlaquered R10 that has been well looked after and serviced. Lightly used for much of its life. Any experience or views on this instrument?

Mark Nightingale and Trevor Mires love theirs! <EMOJI seq="1f609" tseq="1f609">😉</EMOJI>

I had an opportunity to try Mark’s original and can see why it’s loved. One of the prompts to considering this purchase.

The R10 is a very popular model.

How it plays is more to do with how it’s specked and there are many variations.

If you liked Mark’s then his is a bog standard yellow brass set up <EMOJI seq="1f3b6" tseq="1f3b6">🎶</EMOJI>

However if you meant Mark’s original Rath that’s back in Mick’s factory then that one is an R1 not an R10.
