I received this from an acquaintance and used it once in a concert. I am selling it because I acquired another flugelhorn and no longer need this one. The 3rd valve slide trigger parts are missing, so the trigger cannot be used. There are no major dents, but there is a small dimple on the bell (arrow). The resin claw on the 1st piston is short, and the piston rotates inside (arrow). In my personal experience, there was no problem playing if I was careful not to let it rotate. All three pistons move smoothly. There are some areas where the lacquer is peeling; please check the images. This is a used item, so there may be oversights. Please check the images carefully and ask any questions you may have. The mouthpiece is not included. A dedicated semi-hard case is included, but in my personal opinion, it is usable, but damaged, so please consider it for transportation purposes only.
