Also included: Used - Mouthpiece (Farkas or Conn), Used - Stone Lined Mute, - New, Cleaning and maintenance kit, a method book or two and some standard solos with piano. Let me know what music items you have or need or what level you are playing, I can put together a few good music choices for you.This is a play ready instrument, I have moved up to a 1969 letter series Conn 8D and use a Sansone reverse double for chamber music, I no longer need my trusty 6D that has been a good friend. I've had a few older 6D's and this one is the best universal player of all I've had. This is a very good 6D in Near Mint condition.Shipping will be well protected and fully insured, $60 flat rate.This Instrument is Sold AS IS with NO RETURN.

I am a hobbyist in the art of small brass restoration and have been collecting horns for over 3 years now, I feel the need to see them all and develop an obscure and interesting collection. If you're a local or visiting the area, get in touch, as I'd love to hang out and get to know more brass players from 3rd graders to old farts..., I mean old pros. All my instruments are available locally, so if there are no bids or inquiries, I reserve the right to remove any listing.
