Please find an excellent condition rare vintage silver plated Holton-Clarke model A/Bb cornet with original good condition case, full set of A and Bb slides, and 2 original excellent condition #1 and #2 Frank Holton cornet mouthpieces. This instrument is truly a collectors item in that there are no missing pieces with this cornet set.  The serial number is 55004 dating its origin to approximately 1918 according to the "hornucopia" website. The bell is 4.5" in diameter with a bore size measured at the 2nd valve slide at .456 to.458". The instrument is 15" long. The horn has been thoroughly cleaned inside and out, chem cleaned, what few dents it had were removed, all new felts, water key corks and new valve springs. The valves yield super fast action. The case has been sanitized, no odors. In my opinion this is possibly one of the best vintage cornet models ever made. It has a very big sound for such a little fellow. The intonation is very good in all registers. Checked with a Korg digital tuner with setting at 440 in the Bb and A key. There is some plating loss around the 3rd valve casing where the left hand would contact same.Please see pictures. Please feel free to ask questions. Thanks for looking.XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXNotes: Pictures re-shot 4/6/14
