Older good quality British-made instrument. Former military horn. Original silver-plated finish - quite tarnished and some wear spots. No major dents in tubing or bell flare - only one large flat spot on bell rim and it has small typical dents from not having a case. No major structural repairs - just some re-soldering of braces & lyre box. That said, it has a couple reinforcement patches on the 3rd branch where the player's hand rests. Valves are in near-perfect condition; rare for these older horns, and newer upgraded nylon guides. Tuning slides all free & smooth. No case, mouthpiece or accessories. Although ugly and dirty, horn is playable as is. For more information please contact our sales office.
NOTE: This instrument has a Euro-shank receiver - will not work properly with US/Standard shank mouthpieces. Most of these older British-made horns have had receivers changed over by repair shops.
