FS: MW Tuono w/leather Cronkhite bag - ON HOLD

Post by joshwirt »

I am selling my amazing MW Tuono with original bag and newer leather Cronkite bag for $12,000 USD.

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/ ... 3-bbPyA8Ud

This horn has the clarity of a Thor with the mass of a Fafner. I have played several over the years and none of them play as well as this one. It is highly efficient with great pitch, very even blow, and a great sound that blends remarkably well with trombone sections. I am the third owner. I just cleaned the instrument recently, though I didn’t polish the silver. There is one indentation on the back of the horn about the size of a dime that isn’t very deep, but other than that the instrument is completely damage-free. The valves are fast with a very short throw. Only modification was replacing the stock water key with a Saturn (polished silver to match horn) water key.

The instrument is currently with me in Chicago.

Thanks,
Josh

Tuono is currently in VA for the rest of July and will return with me to Chicago on 8/2. If you're on the East Coast and are seriously interested, let's figure it out.
