FS: B&S Symphonie F (Sold)
Posted: Sat Nov 19, 2022 1:27 pm
Hi everyone!
I’m listing my B&S Symphonie (4+2) for sale. I’ve owned the horn for a little over 18 months, and have used the horn to advance and place in competitions and auditions since I’ve had it. Between quite good intonation and extra fingering options offered by the sixth valve, I don't move slides much. Response is quick and even across the registers. The linkage is not original and was put on for the previous owner by Lee Stofer some time before I purchased the instrument. At some point in the instrument’s long history, someone did some suspect work on the valves, which occasionally results in a slightly heavier valve action. I use a heavier valve oil, which seems to help. I just had some worn out springs replaced, which has evened things out a lot. Aside from that, there isn’t much to say about the condition. The lacquer is long gone, but the raw brass develops a nice patina between cleanings. There are no dents to speak of and the garland is in great shape. A black cordura Cronkhite bag in excellent condition is included with the instrument. This is a great-playing horn with a classic sound!
Price and shipping: I’m looking to get $8750 for the horn and the gig bag. I’m currently located in Bowling Green, Ohio and do not want to ship the instrument, but I am willing to drive a reasonable distance to meet a serious buyer. I’ll be driving back to Lincoln, NE at some point before Christmas and could make a delivery near I-80 between here and there as well.
Trades: I’m mostly looking to sell this instrument, but would consider trades (with cash, if necessary) for the following in lacquer or raw brass: MW 2250, B&S MRP F, Miraphone Elektra, and possibly a Petrushka or Firebird. Feel free to ask, the worst I can say is no!
