This is a long cornet, a pro model from a very early production run (serial number in the 500s). The previous owner stripped the lacquer and made repairs with solder to fix air leaks, resulting in numerous scratches and dents. The instrument does produce sound, but please purchase it for parts or as a collector's item. The case is the original, but its condition is poor, similar to the instrument itself. The serial number is 00583. How about it, collectors? Please consider this item. The uneven serial number engraving tells a story of hand-stamped history.
