This instrument is in very good playing and cosmetic condition. It has been very well looked after and is in fantastic condition. It has been replated at some point in the last 20 years or so and barely used since, there are two minor knock dings on the bottom bow and that is it. The silver finish is all intact with no wear and as can be seen in the pictures shines to a beautiful finish. The slides are all free and clean.

The valve tops/bottoms and caps are all free, some wear as expected but fine when done up tightly. The valves are all working well, have been replated with copper at some point presume when it was replated but no serious wear or pitting. The water key corks, valve felts, springs and guides are good and not in urgent need of replacement. The bell rim and flare are straight and not damaged there are no signs of any repairs.
Playing wise I tested this instrument using the correct sized mouthpiece and was pleasantly surprised at how well it plays. It is very easy to blow, is in tune and has a lovely sound throughout the register with no 'woolly' notes.
Comes complete with what appears to be its original hard case which is in useable condition but the lid will have to be reattached. Can also supply a good quality used mouthpiece if required. I have tried to describe the instrument as honestly as possible and have taken lots of pictures from all angles so please have a good look at them, if you require any further pictures or information just ask. Surplus to requirements so needs to be sold, will be a bargin for someone and much better than a new Chinese instrument for the same money.
