This is a beautiful King Silversonic cornet in excellent physical and perfect playing condition with a beautiful clarion tone ... some normal minimal wear and a few small easily repairable dents. It is from the 50's although the serial number indicates earlier. Those familiar with these will know how rare it is to find one in such fine shape. This is an instrument for a professional musician, collector or serious student. You can see the beauty of this  silver "Sterling Bell" cornet in the photos... The silver bell gives it it's especially beautiful tone. Comes with Vincent Bach 1C mouthpiece and original case (case still in usable and sturdy though worn condition....handle replaced). This sweet horn is a thoroughly gig worthy instrument.
