THIS INSTRUMENT IS SOLD AS-IS with no return, please look at all the pic's and ask questions before bidding or purchasing please. Important!!! AS-IS Condition Vintage & Antique Instruments do not have a warranty and though they have been serviced, these vintage instruments can still have minor fit and performance issues after servicing. Vintage and antique horns need to be put back into service with your regular playing after purchase. Many vintage instruments have had solder and other repair work done in the past and many have sat for sometimes decades and even after thorough cleaning, more extended cleaning and fit work may be needed. These instruments I offer on Ebay are refurbished, played for a few minutes to check for performance and problems and then they are shelved until after the horn is purchased or play tested locally. I am not familiar with every horns performance characteristics, bore size or history, but I do learn every day and do my best to offer educated advice. _______________________________________________________________________________________________ Dealz4yinz Policies (please read) Shipping Terms and Conditions: Fedex Ground or Home Delivery, or USPS Priority will be used for shipping; please confirm your shipping quote on Ebay prior to bidding or purchasing.
