I used to repair guitars and someone brought this cornet to me for repair. I do not repair cornets or trumpets so the person traded it in on another instrument I owned. The instrument has good heft and feel of a quality instrument. The horn presents well and is clean. The lacquer is good with only minimal loss and a few scratches. The valves move freely. There are a few small dings (no large ones) and the bell looks good with no dings, only a few scratches with mild lacquer loss. All parts of the horn are in place except the mouthpiece. The horn needs to be lubed and tuned. They removed the blockage but punched a hole in the metal tubing adjacent to the mouth piece (see photos). The case is in good condition… Clean and matching King brand. Keith’s Camera and Music.
