My pleasure, really. As I said I by some reason really did get caught by this model. Nice to play too, a very "safe" player I believe.
Yes, Reynolds horns are rare here in Sweden, as all American brass instruments except Bach. When I realized two years ago that it was possible to buy used musical instruments on ebay, in America, and then have them shipped here, I discovered a new world
.
Anyway, did you have this kind of case too? Also very sweet. Really well made with a clever nest for the mouthpiece and the valve oil. It even had that little medallion from its purchase at the Lyons band instrument store left. The guarantee card was still in the case too, and the keys.
However I do not longer own this cornet as a man called me before christmas and said that he was looking for a nice gift for his trumpet playing daughter...
By the ebay way, my first ebay buy and American import fit well in this topic too. There was no bid so with a tremble in my chest I bid and hoped for the best. Amazingly there was no problem at all, no problem paying, no problem shipping. I was hooked.
It is a "Musicraft", made by Bohland & Fuchs for some dealer in the USA. If you look at the leadpipe you may see that it is almost not conical/tapered at all which makes it a rather special player. It is a very nice and well made trumpet although demanding.
