I got this horn in 1989. Brushed silver with the 22 inch upright bell. It was crazy tarnished but upon cleaning it up I found next to no dents. I soon had the first slide flipped to tune from the top, took the loop out of the third valve circut, and had a new leadpipe bent for it because the original on hit me somewhere south of my adam's apple. It had both of the hard cases. I later got a 19 inch upright bell and a bell front for it, both also silver and with the appropriate hard cases. I still have the original leadpipe and the longer main tuning slide. I've played it in orchestrsa, concert bands, quintets,German bands, and a ton of dixieland bands. It works great in all of them and people comment about what a nice sound it makes I used it on the Moody Blues and Ray Charles shows and got asked back both times. So now I'm 74 with a bad back and I guess it's time for it to go to a new home. I want 2500 bucks for it. It's locateI on the south border of the Ocala National Forest in a town called Altoona. Since there are four cases I think local pickup would be best. Pictures upon request.Best to All, Ed
