I am looking for a reasonable Bari. Is this one a SDA - OR worth what theyre asking.

Thank you

Yes, that is an SDA and yes it's definitely worth $800. A lot more if there's no major damage repair or rust etc.

Yes, it sure looks like an SDA.
These horns have very large LH palm key vents, they seem to really add character to the high notes (usually bari palm key notes sound like they are from a different horn, but the SDA's have the same sound as the rest of the horn) The LH pinky table is not the best, but far from the worst too. The action should be very fast and light, even faster than the MkVI, but the RH stack is in-line, so may present a problem if you are used to offset RH. THis horn should be selling for well over $2500, even though it is not a low A horn. If I didn't have a low A SDA, I would buy this one!

I hope that I can win the bid - but I'll probably get sniped.

it's also clearly a relaquer, but nonetheless a good pedigree
