I have been reading a few of the current threads, but have not located much on the Basson 2-20 Coronet. Would really appreciate some data on the one I have. It is #382732, silver plated and on the bell has the following: 50 MEDALS OF HONOUR, London, Paris, New York, Made in England. It came with a 7C mouth piece(manufacturer unknown). The instrument is in quite good condition with all of the valves very smooth and responsive. The slides are smooth and easily removed. I have not played an instrument for over 45 years, yet when I played a few notes on this one it was clear and the notes flowed easily ! I was getting ready to put it on ebay along with three Ambassadors, but may keep it !

Thanks in advance for any info.
