This specific horn is a late prototype or earliest production horn for the updated King 2341 (so called "new model"). You may remember when Dillon Music helped Conn-Selmer kick off the new product line. This horn got all the bling with satin silver, oversized finger buttons, and polished silver inside the bell and slide bows. I also have the 2341 specific heavy duty molded wheeled case.

Official specs: .687" bore, 4 valve front action, 20" bell, , nickel silver mouthpipe, nickel plated pistons. These horns in silver go for $8,609. I don't even know if you can order satin.

Condition Excellent: Top playing shape and condition. Yes, there is silver wear at the top of the first valve slide, and a very slight bend in the the bell (for me, too small to have touched up, and doesn't really show in photos) but definitely no hard crease, and a few fine scratch and minor dings.

This is really a master-of-all horn. I've played this instrument professionally in pit band, brass quintet, orchestra, brass band, early jazz/Dixieland, and german band, and it's certainly at home in a concert or symphonic band.

Prefer local pick up in Austin, TX, but I could meet halfway regionally.

I've had a couple nibbles, but seems a lot of us need to sell a horn to buy a horn. Hopefully, whoever is trying to sell some real gem gets their price and the dominos fall for the rest of us! If you're in the area, you're welcome to come play test. THX

Thank you to those who inquired.

And thank you to my gracious buyer! I think we both stretched to make the deal happen and walked away satisfied.
The horn has been very good to me, and I feel it is in very good hands. Best to you for many years of enthusiastic playing.
