Description
 


Atkinson NR501 full double horn, nickel silver with detachable ambronze bell tail and flare. Also included is a second bell flare - a vintage Atkinson unlacquered nickel silver flare in very good condition. This is a Kruspe wrap horn with a sound very similar to the vintage Conn 8D Elkhart model years. This horn is 100% American made, manufactured in Burbank, California. It has some minor cosmetic blemishes including some lacquer wear and some very minor dings, typical for careful usage. The rotors and slides are tight and in great condition. I just had it professionally cleaned, restrung, oiled and greased. Overall, it is in excellent condition as it has had fairly little usage. A stock Atkinson detachable bell case is included.
