I have a 1971 Boosey and Hawkes Imperial that I have owned for about two years now, I served e very well but I later upgraded to my newer horn. It is a medium shank receiver with a beautiful satin finish. The valves have minor pitting indicative of age but function and move great and have stayed well oiled and maintained by me. I also fitted meadsprings so the valve action is very quick, quiet, and smooth. There are small superficial dents in a few places on the horn but the plating is still 100% intact! Feel free to ask Questions or comment! Located in Tulsa, Oklahoma $1800 +shipping.
