My lad's 16 year old girlfriend had a little blow last night! (she's a Grade V classical student player, though mainly alto really). It certainly put a smile on her face!! Was lovely to hear it again, be it just a few notes (I found it quite moving if I'm honest! - brought memories flooding back!). A lovely fat warm rounded sexy sound!....... "So easy to play" was her comment...

Thanks Jim ... will do

Has a fair amount of light wear in all the places you mention - all what I'd imagine you'd expect with moderate semi-pro regular use over 55 years (if it has ever been re-lacquered it must of been many years ago!!). I still can't believe they tried to pull that one!
They told me first time round the mouthpiece was worth £500!
