For sale is a Boosey & Hawkes Oxford Bb cornet, made in England and dating to approximately the mid-1960s (serial #259071). This is a classic British cornet well-suited for brass band players, students, or collectors.

  • Soft carrying case
  • Cleaning cloth
  • Valve oil
  • Brush set
  • 7C mouthpiece

Condition Summary:
