In my opinion this instrument is in very good playing and very good cosmetic condition.  The silver plate shines to a good finish with no wear and there are only a few minor marks/dings as expected from normal use.  All slides are all free moving with new or very good felts, springs, water key corks etc.  The valve top/bottom caps are free and the valves working well.  Valves as pictured have no wear/pitting as quite common with this model. Comes complete with the original B&H hard case in good usable condition.  Blows very well and an excellent example considering it is nearly forty years old.    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.  Viewing/play testing welcome and I can be contacted on 01736 850142 or email info@duchybrass.co.ukPayment to be made via credit/debit card over the telephone, Paypal, cheque or bank transfer/draft in UK pounds.  Postage in the UK will be £20 via UPS/DPD (actual cost correctly tracked and insured as per Ebay requirements) or can be collected from Cornwall, please note Northern Ireland or Scottish Islands/Channel Islands will be more expensive.  Happy to post overseas via UPS, will be approx £70 to Mainland Europe (offshore islands such as Malta are more expensive), approx £150 to USA/Canada, and approx £200 to Japan/Australia/South America, expensive as most parcel companies now charge by volumetric rather than actual weight.  If you require an exact price please contact me.  Buyers are welcome to organise their own courier if preferred.
