I bought the Wessex Maly 2 years ago for a trip overseas. It does indeed fit in the overhead compartment and has integrated back pack straps which is very helpful for travel. It has a tiny ding on one of the slides otherwise the horn is in excellent shape and is a head turner when you pull it out at a gig. Reason for selling is I have since bought a full size euphonium and don’t need the little horn. I would like to get $700.00 for the horn which is half price of a new one.
