Paxman pretty much 'owns' the descant market. Their model 40 is the professional standard in descant horns worldwide. This horn was professionally owned and played. It's unlacquered yellow brass. A duck's foot has been added, the levers all have extensions on them for comfort, and the valves have great compression (0.9). The bell is detachable with a Paxman ring. Being a 'Large Bore' model means that you'll have an easier time matching the High F side of the horn to the Bb side. Lastly, there is a stopping valve for easy in tune gestopf playing. It's tarnished and has many dings here and there but nothing major. Once you've tried a descant horn, especially a model 40, you'll kick yourself for not doing so a LOT earlier in life.
Reunion Blues gig bag included.
