This is a J.MICHAEL alto horn. It was purchased new a year ago and used for home practice. Initially, it was used for about an hour, three times a week. It was used for about six months. Currently, I am in charge of a different instrument and have purchased another, so I am selling this one. It has been stored at home for another year, with occasional use. It has been lightly cleaned. The slides move without any problems. The water key is also in good working order. The pistons are in good condition. There is one spot of discoloration. An elementary school child has used it, and the sound is fine. The included no-brand mouthpiece will be included. The included oil, etc., will also be included. I originally used a YAMAHA mouthpiece, so I used it a few times for fun, but it has been cleaned. If you need a fingering chart, I will print one out from the internet and include it. Please check the images for any small stains or rust-like spots. There are no other major dents or scratches, but please understand that this is not a new item. The case is a 3-way type, but there is some slight soiling. There are no problems with its use. Please purchase only if you understand that this is a used item after checking the images. Shipping will be done by protecting the instrument inside the case, wrapping the case with bubble wrap, and then wrapping it with stretch wrap. We will take the utmost care in packaging to protect the instrument, but we cannot be held responsible for any damage during shipping, so please understand. Also, please read the notes in my profile. Color: Clear lacquer Brand: J.MICHAEL Instrument Key: E flat Material: Brass Style: Brass, Western Item Weight: 5.2 kilograms Alto horn, perfect for British brass bands The alto horn is a member of the saxhorn family, invented by Adolphe Sax, and is responsible for the alto range. To achieve a richer tone, the bore of the tubing is wider, and the overall design adopts a large-scale British style. Unlike student model alto horns, which have a bore similar to that of a trumpet or cornet, this instrument can clearly differentiate its tone from trumpets and cornets during ensemble playing. It is ideal not only for elementary school brass bands but also for those who want to try British brass bands. Alto horn body, dedicated semi-hard case, mouthpiece
