A unique Amazing Alto that I played for 4 yrs. on the road , Always carried it on the plane and in excellent playing condition.
Has never traveled in a road/flight case. This horn was personally picked by me from 6 Alto\'s all setup by Ken Beason.
It intonates unbelievably and the Altissimo speaks and slots unlike any horn I have played.
