This is a Shimokura Gakki Marcato cornet. The plating is in beautiful condition, and the pistons move smoothly. All the tuning slides can be removed and inserted. It doesn't seem to have been used much, and the condition is good. The sound is also quite good for a Marcato. There is a small scratch on the top of the bell and a small dent near the U-shaped tube (see photos), so please be aware of this. This is recommended for beginners and those switching instruments. Thank you for your consideration.
