This is a serial number 140,000 range, semi-early Elkhart era instrument. There is lacquer wear throughout, and a small dent on the body (please check the images). However, the airtightness and sound production are good, and the pistons move smoothly. Hetman Classic Piston 3 valve oil was used. Accessories include a BACH hard case, and a BLACKHILL mouthpiece 3S as a bonus. There are no issues with playability or any defects, but this is based on a subjective assessment, and please understand that this is a vintage instrument before purchasing.
