If the pitch was good and the valve compression good, this could be quite the deal.

It's been relisted, at a slightly lower price. I'm thinkin' about it. If only it were closer so I could have a look.

There is one of these in a secret, hidden band storage room somewhere in North Mississippi. It is in better shape as it has been closeted for decades. It plays very well. It may have my name on it someday, so do not bother asking where that band room is located, heh, heh, heh...

Very well....where is the school located?

Rick Denney says on his site these are "notoriously difficult to play in tune."

Can anybody elaborate on that?

(I know, there's no substitute for playing it. But it's 900 miles away. I'd just like to get an idea what might be involved in the intonation issue.)
