I'm going to be moving to Washington and need to cover costs. I posted a while back about my Sousa and how I was thinking about selling. I received a few PM's but I wasn't sure about selling or not. Now the time has come and it must go.
The Horn plays great! Perfect for marching bands, or Trad Jazz (Especially Trad Jazz!) It's a 14k Naked Lady by Conn. It used to belong to a high school so it is a little rough to look at, about 60-70% of the lacquer is there. The slides move but are a little tough, and the valves were lapped so they work great now! Feel free to ask questions or request more pictures.
Comes with Neck, two bits, and Case. $650 + shipping or best offer.

Sorry, it's sold. Nimble horn with a great low range and no bell ring. I bought it for my son, who's switching to sousaphone next year for marching season, but I couldn't resist borrowing it back for July 4th band, because it almost plays itself. The full-top naked lady is a nifty bonus. I wish I could cost-justify having the bell refurbished, because she's hard to see through all the wear. I'm switching over to Eb, though, so my son gets this one back, and I'll be selling my 32k, if you're interested.

It seems you're enjoying the horn!! I'm very very happy to hear that!
