C trumpet purchase advice needed!!

skuni · 12-17-2007, 01:42 PM

I have the oppurtunity to buy a Bach 239 C trumpet serial 175000. There is significant wearing of the silver and a few small dents on the bell. I also can not tell what leadpipe is on it as there are no markings. What should I expect to pay for a horn like this. The valves and slides are great except they are a little noisy. Any help would be appreciated!

No pictures as of yet. any advice from any one on how to choose a decent C trumpet without having much experience playing them.

Thanks,
Steve
