UP FOR SALE IS AFRANKLIN IMPERIAL CORNET (BLESSING ARTIST STENCIL). THIS VINTAGE CORNET HAS NICKEL SILVER ACCENTS AND IT COMES WITH A BRAND NEW BENGE 5B CORNET MOUTHPIECE. ALSO, I ADDED 2 NEW RUBBER CORKS FOR THE SPIT VALVES.

THIS CORNET SOUNDS WONDERFUL. THEPLATING ON THE VALVES IS EXCELLENT AND THIS HORN HASVERY GOOD COMPRESSION. THERE IS A DENT ON THE TUNING SLIDECURVE, AND THERE ARE SEVERAL PINGS ON THE BELL.THE LACQUER FINISHIS WORN THROUGHOUT THE CORNET, AND THE TUNING SLIDE IS STUCK.NONE OF THESE THINGS MENTIONED HAS AFFECTED THE SOUND ONE IOTTA.

IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A REAL PLAYER, THENYOU WILL BE GASSED. COSMETICALLY, IT IS SOMEWHAT SPOTTY. I MYSELF, HAVE 2 VINTAGE TRUMPETS THAT ARE COSMETICALLY COMPROMISED AND I WOULD NOT EVER THINK ABOUT SELLING THEM---THEY PLAY MY SOCKS OFF. THE SOUND IS THE MOST IMPORTANT FACTOR FOR ME.THERE ARE PRETTIER CORNETS OUT THERE AND A LOT OF THEM SOUND LIKE A DYING SQUIRREL. THIS BABY PLAYS!!!

REMOVING THE DENT AND GETTING ABRASS TECH TO LOOSEN THE TUNING SLIDEIS NOT AN EXPENSIVE ORDEAL...MAYBE 25 BUCKS.

PLEASE CHECK OUT MY OTHER TRUMPET AND CORNET FOR SALE, ALONG WITH SOME VERY NICE MOUTHPIECES.

I HAVE PRICED THIS CORNET TO SELL...I WILL ENTERTAIN ANY RESONABLE OFFER. THANKS FOR LOOKING....
