Description

I purchased this at a local pawn shop in Hagerstown MD.
I am relatively inexperienced with sale and repair of Wind instruments, although I did a nice job of replacing the cork for the neck. I recommend a once over from a professional (or at least the school band teacher) for all used wind instruments I sell on eBay, but to me all the springs and pads appear in working order.
Serial Number (Which is on the instrument and matches the one on the neck) 23489 – I have a suggestion from a viewer it is likely post WWII – As SN were recycled at this time.
I accept returns for ANY reason (30 Days), so although you are potentially looking at a bill to make it playable, if the bill from your local guy seems too high, just send it back. I think this is a intermediate to Professional grade instrument.
If you think  you need to ask for a lower price…please indicate your ship to zip code as I expect it will be expensive to ship.
VIEWERS: Do you know anything about this instrument I should add to the description? Please share and I will add.
PS: extra parts include a “step down” to accomodate a neck with smaller fitting.
