As soon as this next-in-line middle school's wrecked instruments are done/delivered/billed (apparently, they prefer "brown" horns, too ), I'd REALLY like to get this thing slicked out, photographed, and sold to someone with dough burning a hole in their pocket...so what tune should I use for a demo, and should I wear blue, or grey...??

The fit (lack of wear) of the rotary valves is remarkable.
I'm going to work with making them run smoothly WITHOUT chemically removing their patina.
...yeah...I'll clean off the hard green stuff, but not the brown oxidation.
