This is a USED Bach 43 ML bore Bb Trumpet. Save for extensive lacquer wear throughout, which is not unusual for an instrument of this age, the horn is in excellent mechanical condition with no signs of red rot. There are also a few minor dents in the bell flair.Notably it has been outfitted with an aftermarket Blackburn #19-348 leadpipe. Upon arrival to the shop, the horn was professionally ultrasonically cleaned and serviced.
***VINTAGE HORN DISCLAIMER***
While the moving parts are fully functional and move freely, instruments of this age commonly have excessive wear and sometimes unknown lineage and repair history that cannot be fully known to us. As such mechanical action can be finicky under a variety of conditions some of which may include choice of lubrication,hand positions & previous repairs or overhauls.
