Up for auction is a hardly used Calicchio trumpet.  I've owned it twice now, and it is time to move on again.  The story on this horn (as unconfirmed legend has it) is that John Duda loaned this horn to Lee (#$%$#) of the band Chicago for a gig back in the mid 2000's when Chicago performed in Tulsa.  Lee brought his main player to Duda for a bath and valve alignment... and John loaned him this horn for the gig.  That night, they traded horns and Chicago went on to the next town.  Not charging extra for this story as I haven't spoken with John in a few months to verify, but that's the tale.  I will, however throw in a #9 leadpipe that John drew up for me a couple of years back.  He forgot to stamp it though.  I can work on that I guess.  My plan was to silver plate the leadpipe and replace the #7.  But I just couldn't do it knowing that the story may well be true.  So it is as it was.... the new owner can opt to plate the #9 pipe and solder into place.  This should go fairly easy since the horn was never damaged and the new pipe should just lay right into place of the old one.  I am including a Bach 5C and a Marcinkiewicz mouthpiece.  The Marc is a bit of a screamer.  Also included is my best aftermarket case.  It is a Protec backpacker.  Plenty of room for mutes and gear.  No reserve. International bidders will be using the ebay global shipping program.  Posted shipping price is for Conus only.  All other US states and territories must pay the priority upcharge.  Please do not bid unless you have the money at the time of auctions end.
