Including the much coveted duct tape spit valve.

The tape catches all the wrong notes before they leave the bell.

[Dents Be Gone!]

I agree, guys. This is the way to go.

I'm looking at it with my phone so I can't see much about the condition of it, but if it's in pretty good condition and if it plays as well as the JP knockoff, that's a great price for a really good playing instrument.

Do you think they’d sell me just the tape?

One can hope. Chock full of wrong notes, they could fetch a pretty penny for anyone playing the wrong song...

Had I not configured my Holton B-flat (knowing how well the JP379B plays), I might actually be trying to figure out how to buy that Arion...
...other than - with the JP - I'd be able to match the rotors, when adding one more, and the JP mouthpipe is bent to accommodate one more.

Price increase to $2500: https://losangeles.craigslist.org/sfv/m ... 57444.html

Minus the duct tape, it's still a good price.

Yeah. I'd expect $2,500.75 would be fair to account for the duct tape.
