This is a Tenor Selmer MKVI (180xxx) that seems to have seen a really lot of serious playin' and with good reason, it's a KILLER horn.
When i got it i fell in love with its playability, tone, response, action...etc, and hasn't paid atention to how worn it was/is.
The first days i spend with it i started to realize that it really looked ugly, i even posted here some pictures (poor ones).
Now and with the help of a friend i have better pictures that shows more accurately how the horn looks.
My question is; do i have to be worried about those laquer wear, brown colored areas, small green spots, etc?...
I brushed the inside of the bell with one like this: http://www.irago.es/gestion/catalogo/fot/7-SalvaUnasVerde.jpg and succesfuly delacquered it with almost no effort.
Could someone also tell me about how much could worth this horn in the actual horns market?.(Pads are new, brown leather with solid silver flat resonators gold laquered, springs, corks and felts are in good condition)
Thanks!.:thumbrig:
