The instrument is in incredible condition. Notably the horn was taken apart and put back together a long time ago, but largely you can't tell the difference and the horn flows insanely well.
I personally picked this horn because I was looking for "something that would last longer than I would be alive" and this absolutely fit the bill for something that will last a very long time, but also just plays amazing. I'm sad to see this go, of course, but as my life involves different types of playing, I have to also change what I am doing.
Also this is the same model of the horn that John Packer copied, in case anyone was wondering.
I did make a little thing from recordings that I have where I was playing. It's all large ensemble playing because that's what I enjoy doing a lot, so that is what recordings I have largely available. Sheet music was added to make it easier to follow along, because the microphone was above the conductor's head, and so high woodwinds get picked up a lot easier. (easier to drown out everything else, that is.)
