This Cornet is in really nice condition. It has no dents on it to speak of and only a couple minor flea bites. I have a Bach Cornet for sale and this one plays much better. It\'s built like a tank. This one was made in Japan by Yamaha back in 1971 when Conn had other people do some of the trumpets by Yamaha. So the quality is still there and it plays great. Even the case is in really really nice shape! Don\'t be shy on this one it\'s very nice.
