Rath horns practically play themselves. This horn is no exception. It's also immaculately clean and well-cared for; see pics.

I am the original owner. I purchased this horn for $3500 in December of 2014, as a back-up. I've played it only occasionally (I have an older, nearly identical R4 I'm not selling).

Sale includes horn only, as per itemized list above (no case, no mouthpiece).

Special COVID-19 Furlough Pricing: $2800, buyer pays shipping/insurance (CONUS-only)
