Anyone ever get bite marks in the bell? It probably makes for a good conversation starter.

That horn was made sometime between 1985 - 1988 (exact records are missing). While the horn is quite obviously dirty, with a "Buy it now" price of $1,580.46 (converted from GBP) it could be a good buy. The repairs would be simple:
1. Get bell marks taken out. Easily done by any decent technicial. Cost: $50-100
2. Clean and polish entire horn. Clean valves. Do it yourself.
3. Replace spring dampers, valve felts, water key corks. Parts cost around $50 from www.dawkes.co.uk. Do work yourself.
When I talked to Dave Childs about buying a new 2056 Prestige, his advice was to instead purchase a 15 year old Sovereign 955. This horn would fit that bill.Adams E3 0.60 Sterling bell - Prototype top sprung valves

I might buy it but the seller seems to not want to ship it, even within the UK.
I did make an inquiry though.Last edited by coolguy684; 03-15-2013, 11:47 AM.Christopher Chen
