Well, it`s been nearly a year since I added Alto and Sop to the Tenor and the Alto has stuck but I`m finding I`m not picking up the Soprano much despite it being in the same key as the Tenor .. I only gig Tenor anyway so the others were for my own leisure and the Alto (in two humble horns) has won through so I`m offering up the Superb Elkhart 300 series Curvy here for sale ..
This Taiwanese made horn is IMO is that good that it`d take a Yani 901 to be a worthy upgrade in curvies, the whole horn is beautifully made and the action well balanced (more refined than the bronze Elkhart Deluxe Straight I had in build and action) and without the excess weight penalty the Chinese horns bring (not as light as a Yani but along that way) , it plays superbly from top to bottom with excellent intonation ..
Condition would be nearly mint if it weren`t for some Flux bleed under the Laquer at joints, and a few of the pillars (if you want detailed Photos Please PM me with your Email address) - believe me this makes no difference, I`ve seen Selmer SA80-IIs with worse , there are no dings and it`s not been repaired , just serviced when I got it .. it comes with the hard case , the now legendary Bari Esprit mouthpiece, a few reeds and a lig ..
A chance to not only get a series 300 Curvy but the actual one which helped revisit interest in higher end Elkharts full stop especially this model ..
Asking £250 - Courier an option (please PM for price) , paypal is too but at your expense - Sorry but UK and Europe only.. 5% to the Forum
