I'm betting it's compensating, with a 1st valve trigger. As seen at Palácio da Tuba.Mark Finley wrote:That's interesting that they don't list a 5 valve version. You would think for that kind of money you could get a fully chromatic instrument

I checked the link, still works, so you can see it any time you're connected with a web browser that shows pictures. I suppose there's no proof that this instrument actually came from the Rudolf Meinl factory.Mark Finley wrote:A compensating rotary?

Besides, Rudy doesnt list any compensating horns in their brochure
I was fooled by the 3+1 story - who would do that with rotary valves? Well, there you go, anything's possible.
My interpretation of "short sell" is "English is not my first language, and I want to sell this thing quickly, in a short length of time."

Either way, a neat horn for the right player.

I believe you are correct about the "inexperienced seller with a grossly inflated idea of the value" part.the elephant wrote:....
This ad could be from an inexperienced seller with a grossly inflated idea of the value of this used horn who then dropped the price to where it was more reasonable after speaking to someone who knows more about it than him. It is possible. But I think it more likely that this horn might have a bit of a fever.
Caveat emptor.
PS: Phone number in ad brings up Lawyer in California, maybe he can provide legal advice

Re: Looking to short sell my RUDY***
A wheeler-dealer type player who would have any experience with or interest in selling horns, wouldn't ever have something like this to start with, is my guess. My interpretation of "short sell" is "English is not my first language, and I want to sell this quickly, in a short length of time." The language issue doesn't seem to add up with law practice, though - I mean, I'm sure there are plenty of lawyers in the US in that category, but you'd think they'd have figured how to get at least written communications into normal grammatical English. If there's a lawyer at that number, there must be someone else too. Pretty sharp photography, though. What does "NRD" mean?

Non refundable deposit.
Weird ad. Cool horn. Lots of to-do by folks (including me) who are not at all interested in even considering buying it.

Re: Looking to short sell my RUDY***
The ad says he is the owner but doesn't play. I sont care about the condition or the brand, his price and his price on a new one for 18k? He is either been misled or is totaly ignorant, i say the latter. Thinking of the limited use here, he has a 2500 dollar horn and this is only because there is a Rudy imprint on the bell. Doesnt mean Rudy made it, but when you can get a large oval from Jinbao that playes really really well for 800 bucks, this will be a hard sell no matter how you slice it. I have asked Jinbao and will hit them up again to see if they can make this horn with a straight up bell.
