York Master 4v CC $3000
Posted: Fri Sep 21, 2018 3:57 pm
I am looking to sell my York Master 4 valve CC.
Mechanically this horn is 100%. Everything moves, everything slides.
Cosmetically this horn is...well not 100%. The silver is very worn in many places and there are a few small dings here and there, though none of them large enough to greatly affect the playing as far as I can tell.
I bought this horn from Dave Unland (via Dillon Music) in 2006 and it served me incredibly well. I used it in just about every conceivable setting throughout my career over that span. This horn has a wonderful dark sound with lots of 'punch'. Intonation is better than most vintage instruments, but does require a bit of a learning curve. Low range is really solid down to E or Eb, but once you get below that, the lack of a 5th valve is pretty apparent. The 4th valve slide does extend extremely far, so D and Db are possible, just difficult. I'm selling this horn because I realized that I'm at a point where I wanted something larger, with more valves, in a lower key
Horn is 38" tall with a 20" bell and roughly a .735" bore (inner diameter of the 2nd valve slide), It will also come with an Aliteri Gig bag.
Horn is located in Lincoln, NE and I would really like to avoid shipping this instrument. I am quite willing to travel to meet a buyer, Denver, Chicago, and Kansas City are all easy day or weekend trips from Lincoln.
$3500
I am certainly willing to take more pictures of any details you would like to see. The horn was also recently professionally cleaned and serviced.
