A used horn shouldn’t be a gamble.
Every horn here crosses my bench with a full cleaning before it goes up — rotors rebuilt or valve-shielded, brought back to tight tolerance, play-tested, and set up for a decade or more of reliable playing with regular maintenance.
Cards on the Table
Every horn goes out with its cards face up. Each listing tells you exactly what I did to the instrument, what I replaced, and what wear is still on it — dents, lacquer, dings and all. If something’s worth mentioning, it’s mentioned. You should know what you’re buying before it ships, not after.
House Rules
7-day trial. Play it, take it to a lesson, put it in front of your teacher. If it isn’t right, send it back within 7 days for a refund.
Return shipping. You cover return shipping — unless I got the description wrong, in which case it’s on me.
Shipping out. Every horn ships insured, at actual cost.
Five-year guarantee on my valve work. If the rotors I rebuilt or valve-shielded develop play within five years, bring the horn back and I’ll make it right. That covers the work I did, with regular maintenance — not unrelated wear, damage, or dents from the road.
