What makes this horn a smart buy:
-
Unlacquered Resonance: The finish is intentionally unlacquered, allowing the brass to vibrate and resonate more freely, which contributes to a rich, complex tone. The horn displays a beautiful, natural patina and verdigris around the key touches, which is the desired aesthetic character of raw brass.
-
Professional Features: The 600 series is built with meticulous attention to detail, featuring smooth key action, excellent intonation, and very cool, intricate engraving for a high-end look.
-
Structurally Sound: Despite being pretty used, there are no dents or damage—only normal wear consistent with an unlacquered horn. Its mechanical integrity is perfect.
-
Quality Manufacturing: Although made in Taiwan, the Eastman production line is known for its high consistency and robust build quality.
