There is dents in the bell bow and one on the leadpipe, but nothing that affects playability. There is minor dent repair on the bell and slide bows. Valve plating is nice and compression is very good, especially when considering the age of the horn it might benefit from a thicker oil, but feels nice with average synthetic. Cosmetically, the lacquer is worn completely down to raw brass in some areas, spotty in others, and has a hip patina. Overall, it is fully functional and plays very nicely.
