THESE BABIES ARE HARD TO FIND. A KEY OF C CORNET. BUT THEY SURE ARE NICE TO HAVE. PLAY IN CHURCH RIGHT OUT OF THE HYMNAL ALONG WITH THE PIANO OR ORGAN. PLAY WITH STRINGED INSTRUMENTS RIGHT IN THEIR KEY. THIS HORN WAS OVERHAULED AND CONVERTED FROM B FLAT TO C BY THE BRASSMAN OF JOPLIN, MISSOURI IN APRIL OF 2008. BELIEVE ME, VERY FEW TECHNICIANS KNOW HOW TO CONVERT A CORNET TO C. BUT THE BRASSMAN DOES!  THE LAST OLDS C CORNET I SAW ON EBAY SOLD FOR $435.00. I'VE PRICED MINE TO SELL AT A BARGAIN BECAUSE OF THE COUPLE MINOR THE OVERCOSMETIC ISSUES DESCRIBED BELOW.

THE OVERHAUL INCLUDED DEDENTING, REPLACING FELTS AND SPRINGS AND POLISH AND NEW LACQUER. IT'S A 1966 OLDS AMBASSADOR CORNET WITH SERIAL NUMBER 579438. IT COMES WITH AN EXCELLENT CONDITION HARD SHELL KING CASE; BUT NO MOUTHPIECE. IT PLAYS WELL AND HAS ACCURATE INTONATION. THE VALVES ARE FAST. IT HAS GREAT COMPRESSION. THE SLIDES MOVE FREELY AND IT'S READY TO PLAY RIGHT OUT OF THE CASE, WHEN YOU PUT IN YOUR REGULAR B FLAT CORNET MOUTHPIECE.

COSMETICALLY IT'S VERY NICE BUT NOT PERFECT. THERE ARE SOME MINOR DIMPLES AT THE HAND HOLD PLACES ON THE TUBES AND THE OLDS ENGRAVING ON THE BELL IS FAINT FROM POLISHING.

I'M A LONG TIME TRUMPET/CORNET PLAYER AND I HAVE PERSONALLY TEST PLAYED THIS HORN IN CHURCH AND IN STRING INSTRUMENTS JAM SESSIONS. IT PLAYS FINE WITH A NICE MELLOW TONE AND AGAIN YOU DON'T HAVE TO TRANSPOSE. WHAT A JOY TO FIT IN! 

AS WITH ALL MY EBAY INSTRUMENT SALES, THIS CORNET IS BEING SOLD AS IS. NO REFUND OR RETURN. CHECK MY FEEDBACK RATING AND BID WITH CONFIDENCE.

CASHIER'S CHECK, MONEY ORDER OR PAYPAL OK. PAY $12.00 TO $30.00 PRIORITY S/H DEPENDING ON YOUR ZIPCODE. PLUS INSURANCE. INT'L BUYER PAYS ACTUAL S/H PLUS INSURANCE AND USES PAYPAL. PLEASE WAIT FOR INVOICE WHICH WILL HAVE THE ACCURATE MAILING COST BEFORE YOU PAYPAL.
