Condition
The tenor horn is in good working order. Our technicians perform work for the MoD bands and professionals based in the London area, so you can be assured the tenor horn has been prepared to a high standard and you are unlikely to require any further work for a while to come.
The instrument is also in very good condition cosmetically, with the only noticeable scratches being on the bell, just below the mouthpiece receiver. There are no dents anywhere.
The valves are perfect and are guaranteed as part of our mechanical warranty. As with all used instruments we only offer a limited warranty on the silver plating finish. Whilst we do not anticipate any issues, our warranty would only cover significant problems (should they occur) and not minor blemishes.
The original rigid, material-covered Besson hard case is also in excellent condition (only a few small marks on the bottom), with fully functioning zips and handles. There is an optional shoulder strap.
