This is a Nikkan Imperial cornet. The previous owner removed the lacquer, leaving it as raw brass. It produces sound, but is considered junk and is best suited as a collector's item. It does not have its original case, so it will be shipped in a Yamaha College trumpet case, with the interior slightly compressed to fit. Please consider this case for shipping purposes only. I believe this is a rare instrument. Please consider purchasing. Although considered junk, all pistons and slides function perfectly. Please consider purchasing.
