It was played throughout my undergrad, master’s, and throughout some of my early professional gigs. The instrument was set up by Shane Weiler, and was overhauled several times by him, and most recently by Frank Marcus. It is in very good condition, considering its age, and has a very tight mechanic with comfortable keywork. I did have the high E key remade to fit my hands, but it has not been silver plated. Ultimately, the instrument is a bit too small for my taste (which is a plus if you want a lighter/smaller instrument). I can ship the instrument with its original Yamaha case, a backpack Kolbl case, and it’s two original bocals, hand crutch, balance hanger, and a swab. I am open to offers, and more than happy to answer any questions you might have.
