The serial number of this Boosey and Hawkes Globe Sovereign places the date of manufacture around 1976. I have owned this horn for 10 years and in that time used it for concerts a few times a year and occasional practice. It has not seen an acid wash since I have owned it; only warm soapy water and thorough warm water flush after complete disassembly.
There are no wear marks on the Silver Plate and only a few minor dings and blemishes which are so difficult to capture with the camera. There is nothing to indicate there have been any repairs or restoration. I would much prefer to sell to a buyer who can personally inspect and play this fine Euphonium, however shipping will be available at cost.
It comes with the original case which is in good condition and two large bore mouthpieces; A Silver Bach 2G and a Gold Steven Mead SM4U Ultra. $2950
