This is the "1946" design version of the King Liberty trumpet, and this horn in particular was made around 1947-48. Condition is quite good overall (see note below about valves), although there has clearly been some work done with the outer tube of the tuning slide.
This trumpet is on the heavier side, and has a lot of cool design features. Compression is perfect through the leadpipe and tuning slide, but the valves have significant compression loss and will need to be rebuilt before this horn is in playing condition.
This horn is sold as-is, with no returns accepted. Price reflects the valves. Please give us a call at 816-410-0826 or email info@austincustombrass.com with any questions prior to purchase. We will also be happy to recommend some incredible restorers!
