Used 2014 Bach 43B in very good condition. This horn came to us from NYC jazz icon Benny Benack III, and it's a real player! We cleaned it and aligned the valves, and the horn is in very good overall shape, with some lacquer wear at the contact points. The bell is in good condition, with some minor blemishes in the flare as well as some acid bleed near the bell rim. There's no sign of red rot, and there's a ton of life left in this horn. The 43LR leadpipe and bronze 43 bell combined with the single-braced main tuning slide give this horn some serious fire (hence the "Mariachi" moniker) -- it plays bright and open with substantial feedback to the player thanks to the beefy bell bead. The valves are quick and smooth and compression is very good with a slightly thicker oil like Yamaha Vintage. Comes with with original case.
