This horn has so many cool things - first off, the bell was cut after market (by me) and has a Lawson/Alexander ring on it. The case is a carbon fiber Pope Pack - (a $550 value!), and the compression on this horn is perfect! (0.1). This horn is in great condition. Other than some scratches in the lacquer, and the evidence of the bell conversion it's in GREAT condition.
This is a fabulous horn for someone going off to college or for a step up horn.
It's made of lacquered Nickel.
