Great inexpensive practice horn / second instrument for a student! We bought this horn specifically for our daughter to keep at home after she joined band. Her school instrument was large and heavy, and carrying it back and forth every day became a hassle. Instead, we bought this one so she could leave the school horn at school and still practice at home. This horn is definitely not pretty. It has several dents, including noticeable dents around the bell, along with scratches, wear, and other cosmetic imperfections. Please look closely at all of the photos for the condition. The important part: it plays great. All three buttons/valves work well, and it served its purpose perfectly as a home practice instrument. This would be a great choice for a student who already has a school-issued instrument and wants an affordable horn to leave at home. No more hauling a big, heavy instrument back and forth every day. Expect dents and cosmetic wear. It is not being represented as a collector-quality or cosmetically clean horn-the value here is having an affordable, playable instrument for practice. Please review all photos carefully, as they are part of the description. If your kid is tired of lugging a big school horn home every afternoon, this is exactly the reason we bought it.

Here is an unbranded bari sax. The patent and serial markings are. PAT SEPT 14, 1915. The patent info is consistent with the markings on Pan American horns which is probably the most common Conn stencil brand. It does look like the Conn 12Ms of that period although it does not have rolled tone holes like the Conns. I know that represents a lot of conjecture. I’m just providing the info based on some research I’ve done and the years of repairing/restoring experience I have. You be the final judge. All I’ve done to this horn is replace 3 pads and work the neck slightly to make it playable. I would have a little more work done to make it play to it’s full potential as follows. It has the telltale slight “outy” ridge on each side. I tried to show it in one of the pictures. Replace a few more pads. They are a mix of old and newer. Most are newer style with domed plastic resonators. Fix the neck receiver. There are signs of stretched/warped brass near the screw, and the neck is sloppy even with the screw tightened. The horn plays like there is some leakage there (even though I could still hit low Bb). I expanded the very bottom edge of the neck tenon ever so slightly to make a better seal which helped quite a bit, but if I seal the whole joint with electrical tape, it really barks out down to the low Bb. The low C# key guard needs resoldered in two places. There are a few corks missing and/or worn. Most dents are shallow except arguably the push-in at the thumb hook and the top foot of the low Eb key guard. You might consider having those pushed out although I doubt you’ll notice they impact playability. I don’t see any flat-spotting at the bottom of the bow which is pretty remarkable for an old bari. There are a couple of larger dents near the high F key. Still not too bad, but maybe you get those fixed depending on your preference? The case is a Conn. It is beat and taped up, but is still pretty solid and fits the horn nicely. The case will be wrapped with cardboard but with the handle exposed/accessible so the shippers can more easily handle the package and reduce the risk of it being dropped.
