SCODWELL Harry James 1990 - Argentée et gravée

Silver-plated, serial number 170.

One of only six units designed, built, and fine-tuned by Tony Scodwell in 1990.

In excellent playing condition.

The forward-positioned valve block provides a sense of balance and lightness.

ML bore (0.460").

127mm bell.

Extended leadpipe (characteristic of the "Balanced" model design).

Compression is excellent; valves move freely with no play.

All four slides move smoothly.

The sound is full, round, and rich in harmonics.

The low register is deep, and the upper register is remarkably easy to play.

It feels especially lively due to the absence of a brace between the bell and the valve block.

Designed, built, and fine-tuned by the legendary Tony Scodwell himself, during his first decade of independent work following a career playing with greats like Harry James.

Naturally, it draws direct inspiration from his famous King Silver Sonic.

Built around a Kanstul valve block, custom-developed to his exacting specifications.

Silver-plated finish by Anderson.

Engraving executed after plating by the world-renowned Sherry Huntley.

A one-of-a-kind instrument.

Sold with a near-new case.

Additional photos available upon request.

In-person handover preferred.

Shipping available with insurance for the full value.
