conn 25j SOLD

Post by andrew the tuba player »

Ok, I love my 25J, but, I have just gotten a 52J and don't need two horns right now. Plus, It's a little big for me in my current physical condition. So, i have decided to sell my horn. It's a 4 valve upright bell Conn. It has short action valves. The finish is Satin Silver with a shiny bell. the finish is great and only a few small bumps. The only things that need mentioning are 1.the bell is a little misshapen and scarred from previous owners sitting it on the bell. 2. there is a dent in the bottom bow, but it's pretty shallow and doesn't affect playing. It plays great for a horn this size. Valves are good and smooth and the slides a good. I will post pictures asap. Have gotten many comments on this horn. Once again i love this horn, but i don't have a need for it. Great horn for community bands and even out door gigs. This horn is a beast. So, I'm asking $2000. PM me if interested. Sorry to those who wanted to trade before. But i can no longer accept a trade because i am in need of the money. It also comes with a stand, the original cases, a gig bag and a mute.

I don't understand why you would sell this horn!! Hey I can't stop you though...but just keep in mind, while your 52J is an outstanding horn, once you get rid of this you will never get that "bottom" anymore. The 52J just doesnt compare. I have a 20J and I just hate to see you sell this because I have a feeling you might regret it. If I were you I would keep it, and keep adding to the collection instead of selling when you want another horn. Hey just keep it in a closet out of the way if you don't want to use it much...But I just know that when you acquire other horns in the future, and keep this one, you will find yourself coming back to the 25J just for the sheer pleasure of playing something with a low range to die for. Man there is no other sound that compares! Hate to see an amazing horn go..-John

Makes me wish I actually needed a horn.

Bell could be squared away easily. Cases, mute and a bag add to the deal. Price seems more than reasonable for a horn of this type. Bet this goes fast....

ok. the horn is no longer on hold and is still for sale. I'm sorry but i can no longer accept trades. As much as i really want a bass trombone, I need the money. So, i will change the post. price is sill $2000 and shipping should be around $180 depending on location. thanks
