I'm surprised Ian's 345 didn't sell in past classified posts; it looks like an excellent example of the model. FWIW, one of the best BATs I've played was a beat up 345 in BBb

A lot of people felt the price was too high. Right now, it's at the same price I bought it for in 2008, only in better playing condition and with a usable case.

I think it was a reasonable rice. Nice case; ready to play; what's not to like? Having been lowered a good deal, its a bargain now.

So any particular reason why you're selling this beauty? I know there's nothing really wrong with it so I was just wondering why.

I understand, those valves look a lot more vertical than the ones on mine. My valve positioning feels contoured to my hand much like a King 2341.

The link to the pics doesn't seem to work anymore; has this been sold?
