For sale, Conn 4h from 1947 according to serial number, silver plate, gold wash bell. As shown in the photos, there are small dents in the bell section (almost unphotographable), dents in the tuning slide (don’t affect operation), and wear on the main slide. I don’t know how to give the slide a rating number, but with fresh Yahama slide oil, it plays OK. I don’t feel or hear any dents in the main slide, but if I were going to play it a lot, I’d get the slide trued by a tech. An ultrasonic cleaning would probably be a good idea,too. The case has wear on the covering and stain inside, but it is solid and protects the horn. Original lyre included.
I’m amazed that Dillons sells these things for $650-900.
I’d like $250 plus shipping. Send an address and I’ll compute the actual shipping cost. I can do USPS, UPS or FedEx Paypal is fine.
