This item is being listed due to inventory consolidation.

This horn was purchased new, used for approximately 4 years, and then passed on to me, who used it for about 10 months.
(It has been used for a total of just under 5 years.)

The lacquer is in relatively good condition overall.

There are minor scuff marks and lacquer abrasions in some areas (slight thinning of lacquer inside the bell, body, etc., but the gloss is maintained), and shallow dents are present, but there are no significant dents that affect playability.

All rotary levers and slides are functional, so it is ready to play immediately.
Regarding sound production, I confirmed before listing that it can produce over three octaves from low notes (below low F) to high notes (above high F), so there are no particular issues with playing.
It is an instrument that plays well across the entire range from low to high registers, and high notes above D are also easy to hit (the pitch in the high register is also good).

I believe it is a horn that is easy to play naturally, making it recommended for those who are just starting out or those who are resuming playing after a long break.

Although this model is no longer in production, it remains a very popular model due to its form, accurate intonation, rich and dynamic sound, comfortable resistance, and powerful yet warm tone. Good quality examples are becoming increasingly rare and difficult to find.

We encourage those who are looking for this instrument to consider this opportunity.

As this is a used item, please consider carefully before purchasing if you are looking for a perfect item with no imperfections.

Thank you for your consideration after understanding the above.
