Playing - This horn plays well. Tuning slides and valves move easily.
It has good but not perfect compression evidenced by a solid pop when the slides are pulled. Serial Number - SN 309226. Made in 1950 when King was making some of the best horns ever.It has a significant scar around the bell from a mostly removed crease. There are also a number of missing patches of lacquer and dings and scrapes. I've shown the worst in photos. Serviced - Horn has been completely serviced including chemical cleaning, hand-washing, and ultrasonic clearning. Springs, felts and corks have been replaced as needed.
Play tested to ensure playability. Case - Includes a used case in good clean condition. It's not perfect but it well protects the horn. Mouthpiece - Includes a 7C mouthpiece in good condition. Experence: I've been playing brass instruments for 40+ years and love helping others in their musical journey.Check out my other items.
