Up for bid is a very nice  Henry Distin  " Paris" model cornet as shown Circa 1878 (no serial number ) looks to be in  very Nice condition with only some small dings. All valves push smoothly but will need new springs. I was able to gently remove the #1 tuning slide and the main tuning slide.The  water key looks to be resoldered on long ago , no other repairs that I see. Please e-mail with any questions you may have  Don't miss out on the very Rare Cornet
