The following is the description that was given to me.
Large bore C, standard model, serial # 725, which is Bud's birthday.
His name is stamped on the valve casing, and the words "Dave Monette, Chicago Ill. This horn was played by Bud in the orchestra in the middle and late 80's.
If interested, you can contact Kirk who can give you more info on how to bid on this horn. His email is kirkl@sycamoreparkdistrict.com.

Man, is that an ugly horn
Wynton's early horns looked just like this.
I played about five of them at Wynton's place at the Piano Factory.....long before he moved to his Lincoln Center address. They played great, but they were UGLY.
