This is a really cool old horn! This Sansone 5-valve single Bb horn plays beautifully and is in amazing shape for its age. Throw in the fact that it comes with the original case in just about as good of shape as you'll find anywhere, and you really have an amazing collector package that also plays and looks great!

You may be wondering if you've seen this horn before listed by me. You have. This horn was returned after some minor shipping damage to the bell flare when sold the first time. The damage has been professionally repaired (you can't tell it ever happened!) and I also had the shop I took the horn to for this work remove the minor dents in the bell tail. There are some super minor dings on the horn and a few scratches and spots of lacquer wear, but this vintage horn is in really great shape for its age!

 

I do find it difficult to hold the horn without a duck foot and missing the original left hand holding device (which I'm told existed, but I can't find any info online about it). If you plan to play the horn, I suggest you get a duck foot or something installed on it for comfort.

 

The original (!) case is included. No mouthpiece is included.
