The horn body and bell are in pretty good shape. The slides all move.
The third piston functions properly. The second piston functions properly, but the threaded portion of the valve button threading is stuck in the valve stem. The first piston is bent, so it only goes in 2/3 or maybe a little more before it gets stuck. The casing seems to still be straight, because the other pistons will go in it and move up and down freely. The top threaded portion of the first valve casing will need to be rounded out, it seems to be a little compressed, and it is not easy at all to put the top cap on. The first piston is currently missing a valve stem, but valve stems do thread properly into it.

SPECIFICATIONS
BORE: .656"
MATERIAL: Brass; baked epoxy finish
BELL: 16"
Weight 16 lbs.
