Edit: sold, thanks!

Hi all,

Selling this B&S Sonora BBb. It is in good mechanical shape but rough cosmetic shape. I bought it last year planning to pretty it up but it was damaged in shipping and I finally got it stuck back together, and would just like to move on it and make room now. Plays well, good intonation/response.

Condition is as shown. A few patches on some tubing, some burned lacquer, bell is in decent shape with no patches. The leadpipe has been repositioned higher. The receiver is on the smaller side and a standard shank mouthpiece doesn't go in too far, but the horn plays at pitch well with ample room to push/pull if needed. S-links aren't too noisy. First slide is well aligned for easy manipulation.

Asking $1,200. This may be too tall to ship easily, but I can if buyer takes full responsibility of the horn after it's left my hands. Pick up in Connecticut or can drive a ways to meet you in New England or the NYC metro area east of the Hudson. PM me or email beanhillbrass at icloud dot com.

because you're subconsciously waiting for me to realize I'm not playing my 188 enough to keep it?
