York’s top of the line professional instrument in the 50’s. In fantastic shape - finish in good shape, valves are perfect, patented feathertouch springs work well. Compression is fantastic and tone has nice depth in all ranges. Comes with working case, 2 lyres, swab, and unidentified mouthpiece, which is used for the playtest video.
Bore: 0.468 Bell: 4.625
As said, top of the line horn. Same horn as the even more showy “York Feathertouch Master”, just with different line name. When York was bought, they kept making their student models in-house and had their professional instruments made by Böhm & Meinl. Plays great, have used it for a few gigs as a change of pace. Recently cleaned. I also used baking soda to remove the odor from the case. I vacuumed it out but there may still be a bit of white dusting in spots.
Taking offers and answering questions. Not sure how much this will sell for, but it was $315 in 1962, which is $3500 today.
