Availability: 100 in stock
  • Finish Material: Brass
  • Instrument: Cornet
  • All returns accepted: ReturnsNotAccepted
  • Condition: In used condition shows some age, has a hand full of dings . The valves move freely and the slides move easily or just as they should . The bell is somewhat straight the bell rim was bent and repaired. On the tuning slide I think the Lyre bracket is missing. Another reason I think it is a Holton Stencil. Their may be other things wrong with this that I did not notice please be aware their is more than the average amount of lacquer missing and the raw brass is slightly oxidized and the finish is spotty. Spit valves have some cork but they are old. All said it is a cool looking horn Which is Likely over 60 years old, Used possibly original tweed case included, and a used mouthpiece included . Take a good look at pics and feel free to ask questions. Plays OK, sounds good, Looks nice ! Sold as is in used condition. I have not been able to find out much about this one. Not sure where it was made or by who. If you know and you wish to share that would be awesome.

    This is a  CROYDON . It says nothing else on it that I can find no country  nothing it does have a serial number and if it is a holton and if it has a holton serial it would be older that the  50's The original  lacquer finish on this shows Much use with  nicks and scratches and much finish wear.  Sounds good !  Includes the tweed case as pictured,  vintage No Name mouthpiece included.    Please see cond. description above for full report.
