Re: VINTAGE HORN EYE CANDY

Well Gang,

I don't know for sure who made this horn. I picked it up on Valentine's day 2008 for $100.00. It was as tarnished then as an old penny.

I've cleaned it up and it works fine. I love playing it with the mouthpiece that came with it. I have all the slides moving. I've replaced the cork pads with felts and put new top springs in. Replaced spit-valve corks as well.

The valves are numbered 7, 8, and 9 instead of 1, 2, and 3.

No leaks cracks or major dents.

How do you think it looks?
