New post for this horn.
Overall pretty good. Still has compression. Scratches and dings as expected. Previous repair. No case. The bell to receiver brace is misaligned because at one point the leadpipe and bell were bent into the body of the horn. The leadpipe sits mostly level now but the brace is still bent and was made just to work. I tried to bend it straight but it seems to be made out of solid tungsten lol. I have a replacement one that will come with this horn if someone desires to replace it. It’s from a “newer” 1240.
