Lyon and Healy American Professional Cornet, 1902 Chicago - Refurbished Bore: .460 - Serial# 21**
A
lovely antique L&H horn with 98% original plating. Everything moves
nicely, the valve chambers were polished, hand lapped and, oiled with
Hettman's Classic No. 3 valve oil. Horn a slight bend on the edge of the
bell flair and also required work on the taper and tail. Horn is
beautiful and ready to play again, horn only no mouthpiece or case. My
Mt Vernon Bach 7 fits the receiver reasonably well, I have no L&H
vintage mouthpieces available.
You have been searching all the forums, horn-u-copia and tribute sites trying to
make sense of all the old horns out there. Buying from a picker or individual always has potential for risk, worn valves, stuck slides, loose solder joints, warped valve bodies... my horns are evaluated and detailed before they are listed so no fear of buying a vintage lemon from UpYourBrass.
I am a collector and hobbyist technician that has just expanded into a local music store. The main focus for my collection is on vintage, less known and less appreciated cornets and trumpets as well as student models since many old student horns are really well built and play amazingly pro-like. Refurbishing and collecting original condition horns is my passion! UpYourBrass is a single tolerance shop, all my instruments are refurbished and detailed. All horns go through a stringent bench test, are checked for loose solder joints and proper function. All easily accessible dents removed and repairs completed, valve chambers are scrubbed, hand lapped when needed and aligned... all horns are de-greased, chem cleaned, and hot water rinsed and scrubbed. My office and shop are in different locations and I inspect and prep all horns prior to shipping so my ship time can take up to 3 days from purchase date, please look at all photos carefully before you buy. Thank You
