This was a joy to play. It’s in very good playing condition as is.

Pads look to be in good shape. If there are leaks, I am not sensing them, and they did not prevent me from enjoying this symphonic sounding instrument.

The neck is not original to this instrument, but it’s one of those fancier ones that I’ve seen around. It’s by Charles Bay, and it works well. It’s quite snug, although I was able to get it on. Somebody with technical skills could probably just make the entrance a little bigger, but this is not a big deal. It worked great.

Unfortunately, this does not come with a post. Also, the screw that goes into the Post securing mechanism is not present.

Overall condition of the instrument is accurate in the pictures.

The case is showing quite a bit of wear , but it does secure the instrument well. We will ship it carefully and safely.
