I bought it from a former college music student while looking for a small tenor. It’s great, but I think I’m better suited for a .525 bore (i.e. 3b+). That said, it plays well. It has a mellow sound when it needs to but it can also get quite loud without backing up or breaking. There‘s lacquer wear throughout, but there are no dents that I can detect, and the slide is excellent. No sign of previous repairs. It’s a great little horn that’s been well cared for.
