This horn is 30+ years old and in excellent condition - no patches at all, and only the odd, superficial blemish here and there. Lacquer is around 80% intact. We've fully reconditioned it, of course, and it plays absolutely superbly: it's got a warm, mellow sound - slightly darker than one normally associates with a 103 - and all the registers play freely and easily. The valve compression is awesome - absolutely no leakage resulting from wear - and the valves are quick, smooth and fast. This horn benefits from coins on the valve levers and so is very comfortable for someone with smallish hands - there are no awkward stretches which one often experiences with these older 103s. Although it's 30+ years old, it plays literally better than new AND it's in gold brass - wow! £POA |
