I purchased this from an overseas website at the beginning of this year. It's a Vincent Bach Mercury model, a cornet type trumpet. Based on the serial number, it's from 1943, made during the New York era. As you can see in the 4th and 5th photos, the lacquer is peeling. The valves show very little wear and are in excellent condition, with sufficient airtightness. The stopper on the 2nd slide broke during shipping, but it didn't affect playing, and I've been using it without issue. I loved the soft, light playing feel, which is different from a Stradivarius, but I'm selling it because I've changed my main instrument and haven't been using it much. I hope someone who will cherish it will give it a try. No mouthpiece included, original case included. Thank you.
