This cornet plays well and all slides and valves move freely and correctly.  It produces a nice cornet sound.  There are some small dings along the bell curve and the bell with some wear in the brass lacquer finish.  All in all, however, the brass lacquer is good to fair.  The leadpipe has a slight bend but doesn't seem to affect sound or playability.  This would be a great student horn, or for someone interested in picking back up a cornet and playing anew!  It comes with a Conn hardshell case ii good functional condition.  I believe this is the original case.  Also, it comes with a gold-plated Bach 5B mouthpiece.  No international bidders.  Please only bidders in the continental United States (the 48 contiguous states).  I accept PayPal.  NO RESERVE. I will send via UPS ground.  Happy Bidding..............God Bless and Happy Holidays.  Place a Bid!
