bought new in March of this year.1 tiny ding in bell.1 very mild crease rubbed out of bell rim.With original hardcase with wheels.I'm going to try the tubenet community for a week or so before i send it to Baltimore Brass.Lee Stofer added a 1st valve slide T-rod for me and straightened out a few minor problems the first week i had it.It's just a little too big for me as a quintet horn.My tastes are changing.Horn is really easy to play and has an 18" bell.If I could only keep one horn,this would be it.If you can come up with 5,000 plus shipping in the next 10 days or so,it's yours.If not,its going to Mr. Fedderly,where the price could go up a bit.Pics on request,but it's basically perfect except those 2 tiny problems which probably won't show up on the pics anyway.

here are a few low-res pics.My holton is on the site too,don't get excited,it's not included...

I didn't buy this horn because of the satin lacquer finish,but it is quite cool and unique.Everybody seems to dig it...

I thought those Conns come in lacquer, silver or satin silver. I didn't know of "satin lacquer." Did it come like that from the factory, and how much did the satin lacquer cost compared to lacquer, silver and satin silver? That's a beautiful horn. The Holton looks pretty sweet too, makes we want to play BBb again!
