Up for sale is a great example of these classic horns. It has great sound and intonation as you would expect. I mainly just have to push in the slide (which is very accessible) for the D in the staff. Valves and slides all move freely. It is a very versatile horn. I have played it in everything from solos and quintets, up to larger orchestras with no issues.

I am also including two cases. A Reunion Blues gig bag that is a little rough but still works well and an Anvil case with swivel casters. Asking $5,000 for everything.

I am not currently looking to ship, but I would drive a little ways to meet a serious buyer. You are welcome to come by and try it. The horn is located about 30 minutes northeast of Tulsa, OK.

It seems like your photo link may have gotten messed up. It is coming up with a 404 error.

Thank you. It should be working now. Or at least after it's approved.
