Sigh.
If I didn’t love this damn dog so much, I’m ‘tellin you. . .
But that’s a tale for another day- Quick shameless plug:

ITEM #1:

I need to sell a PRIMO, BEAUtiful Silver King 2B. Not sure the exact age, think perhaps 5 years old (SN: 907737) , looks like it’s brand new. I’m the second owner. I picked it up this past spring, as it was the first King 2B I’ve played that I *could* play. I always wanted to be “King 2B” guy, but didn’t find one that resonated as well as I liked, or felt “too stuffy”.

This bell RINGS baby, it’s free blowing, sweet up through High F (the really high one) and slots well. I’ve used it with Frankie Valli, the Four Tops, the Temptations, and in a variety of Jazz and other commercial venues. It records with a nice even and fat upper register, and the slide- my god, the slide: it’s really a 10 of 10. There is NO plating wear, and no dings, dents, etc. This horn is beautiful.

So why am I selling it? Mr. Max decided that he spontaneously needed a bunch of dental work, with a MINIMUM price coming in at $600, maximum, lord only knows. (sigh). But he’s my best friend.

I have another jazz horn, a really nice 5H that I got from my beloved bride when we met, and it’s a really good axe. I don’t really need two small horns since I reclaimed my Bach 36 in December.

So, if you need a great horn- drop me a line. I’ll put a link up to the eBay auction, but would rather see a great horn treasured, loved, and played, than sit in my closet as my best friend suffered oral discomfort.

Please give her a good home. …

ITEM #2 SOLD!
An Edwards TN-STD (Large Bore .547 Conn Crook Nickel Slide, all leadpipes, Sterling T3 Leadpipe, and Vintage 1950s Elkhart Conn Leadpipe)

Summary: Don’t make Max cry.
Hope you can use the gear and give it a good home!

Best,

Dr. J
