Going through more of my friend’s horns and I stumbled upon this. It takes a euro/medium shank mouthpiece. Not much info out there on the web so I was wondering if you guys know a thing or two about them. I’m pretty sure that this is a beginner/intermediate horn.

Looks pretty interesting, is this one going up on ebay too?

Booseys top line was imperial for a while and then sovereign i think. I wouldn’t imagine a student horn being dual trigger, so probably intermediate or just above.

It will probably end up on eBay. And yes, a friend of mine just sent me this link <LINK_TEXT text="https://www.wwbw.com/Amati-ASL-382-Seri ... 64463.wwbw">https://www.wwbw.com/Amati-ASL-382-Series-Bass-Trombone-464463.wwbw</LINK_TEXT>

This horn has issues, though. It has a nasty buzzing probably coming from some loose solder somewhere.

That is a wierd horn. I have actually tested a horn like some years ago. I would not recomend it to a student. Or anybody. But you can not test it with your own mpc. Something for a collector?
