Condition:
This is a used instrument in really great condition. It is a silver plate instrument that has 95% (or better) of the silver-plate intact - some of the silver plate has been worn off on the valve caps (see pictures) but that is all. It has minor scratches from, a few tiny dents on the stem as well as two small dents on the main elbow. However, these are cosmetic and this does not affect the playability of the instrument. Please see all pictures to determine the instrument's overall condition. The instrument has been refurbished. The case has been worked on as well. Holes were patched, carpet reglued, outside case was painted.
Accessories:

Terms and Condition: PLEASE READ
The musical instruments that I sell are used. Most of them are from collegiate or high school band departments that replace their instruments on a yearly basis. These instruments have been used by students; however, I never sell instruments that do not work or functions unless
stated as such, and I also refurbish or have the instrument refurbished before they are sold. I am fairly knowledgeable in most music gear and am learning more and more from all of my friends and customers every day. There have been and will continue to be some obscure items I may not have much knowledge about. When this occurs, I rely on the wonderful eBay community and my instrument technician to help me out.
I try to describe all of my instruments to the best of my abilities Please note that it is a USED item and may have other issues that are not described; however, I do my best to test everything out and have my instrument “guru” the incredible Mr. Pete Rodriquez at Musical Instrument Service work on and test everything out. If you have concerns, please feel free to contact me and ask questions. I guarantee all of my musical instruments unless they are sold “AS_IS” and are clearly stated as such. Buy or bid with confidence.
