This horn came to us in the Summer of 2006. A young man from New Jersey was in Maine at music camp and his trumpet was somehow damaged. We’re still not too clear on the full story but apparently it involved a gig bag and a ping-pong table. In addition to the damage obvious in the photos, the second & third valves we immobile as was the third valve slide. We worked through the weekend and had the instrument back to him in time for his concerts.
