WTT: Eastman 836S for Meinl Weston 2165

Hey everybody,

I'm entertaining the idea of trading my Eastman 6/4 for a Meinl Weston 2165.

I love my horn, especially following the modifications it received from Matt Walters. This was one of the first batch of this horn in the states, bought at the army conference by Tom McGrady. It plays wonderfully in tune and has great flexibility, with very even tone across the range of the instrument. I can provide recordings to interested parties.

While I know there are some people who view the Eastman as being better than the 2165, I know that many people have gems of the 2165 with custom modifications that are beautiful in their own right. While my Eastman is a fantastic instrument and I wouldn't be sad to have it be my horn for a very long time, my heart has always longed for the 2165.

I'm located in North Carolina, and I am NOT interested in selling. If you're interested, please shoot me a private message and we can get in touch.

Thanks!
TheDancingSousa

I believe there is someone on FB looking to trade a MW2165 (Silver) for an Eastman or Wessex Yrok style CC. PM me if you cannot find it, I'll look myself as well.
