One would never know that this horn was built in 1987 - the compression is still PERFECT (0.1), and other than some lacquer wear, it's in great condition.  Other than a quarter (soldered to the thumb lever, and easily removable if desired), it's all original.  This horn is made of Ambronze with a Lawson/Alexander bell ring.  It was made in 1986 and delivered to the current owner in 1987 (they were out of the country).  It was barely played for over 20 years and most of the lacquer wear was due to storage.  It's been regularly maintained at the top shops (Lawson, Osmun, and Pope).  This horn is the model 804 GML (Medium large bore)
Lawson horns are known for their ability to produce a huge sound without becoming overly edgy.  These horns are becoming more rare by the day.

NO case included.
