    Description

    For sale Is this cool Embassy England Vintage Alto/Tenor Baritone Horn in F. Possibly a stencil - Olds? Besson?
    I *believe* this is an alto or tenor horn. If there is a brass junkie out there that would like to correct me, please feel free. My brass chops are limited, but this plays quite well for me in F, using a cornet mouthpiece. It has a nice fat flugal-horn like sound.
    The instrument is in overall great shape. No large dents, only a few minor dings that seem easily removable. The lacquer is ok - about 75-80%. Some polishing and cleaning would do it good. The only significant repair I see is the one shown on the lead-pipe - looks like it was re-soldered to the bracket at some point and could definitely be redone with a cleaner looking repair. Valves and slides all move nicely and the instrument plays. It will just need a cleaning, polish, and some grease to be at its best. The case is included in old, worn, but structurally good condition. It is solid and protects the instrument well.
    Cool item for brass soloist, brass band player, collector, etc... I don’t really know how to value this. Please just make me an offer and get this out of my house.
