Description

Vintage Baronet Silver F? Mellophone Ser#48465 Non-Playing for Parts/Repair/Déco
We are cleaning out the back of our warehouse - this is being sold in as is good used non playing condition needing a tweak.  Pictured is the actual item you will get so please look at the pictures closely.
This is a cool vintage mellophone! The lead pipe to body brace is missing and the mouthpiece receiver is missing (see pics not included).  The instrument has a gold wash bell which is missing a good chunk of its finish (see pics).  Gold wash bells with silver instruments is always a really cool look! The horn has approximately 80-85 of the silver finish remaining and approximately 25% or less of the gold wash bell remaining. One or more of the valves are not functioning properly and some of the tuning slides are stuck.  The third valve is missing a stem and finger button.  The valve is frozen in the casing. No mouthpiece is included and it comes in an older used case with a light funk to both the case and the horn. Overall, the instrument is in good physical condition.  With a couple of parts this horn could be fixed up into playing condition again!  As it is it is a great vintage looking horn that would be perfect if you need parts or if you are looking for any kind of wall decor.
