This used Schilke XA7 shepherd's crook is in very good condition, with 100% of the silver plate intact and just some minor surface scratches here and there. We cleaned it and aligned the valves, which have very good compression and absolutely fantastic action. It has the same bell (#1 taper) and tight wrap as the more famous Schilke XA1 but in a medium bore version. It plays dark with a British mpc, but works great for jazz using a "normal" mpc. The medium bore adds significant resistance compared with XA1, but it doesn't feel too restrictive and responds very fast. Comes with original case.
FROM SCHILKE:The XA7 Bb Cornet is a vintage English style design with shepherd’s crook bell. A tighter wrap allows for a dark, rich and intimate tone. This model is ideal for British brass band and jazz settings.
