What does “ex-demo” mean?
This instrument may have been played briefly for testing and demonstration
purposes, but it has not previously been owned by a customer. There may be some
tiny cosmetic imperfections, but the general cosmetic condition is excellent
and the mechanical condition is perfect.
Unlike most instruments sold online, this cornet has been professionally tested
and prepared by our specialised brass technician. This ensures that it will
play as well as it possibly can, right out of the case.
Product Description
Serial no.: 774812
The 184L is Bach’s professional, large-bore cornet, in a lacquer finish. Alternative
versions are available with a medium-large bore (184ML), and with a silver-plated
finish (184SML).
The instrument is supplied in its Bach hard case, with keys for locking the clasps.
All accessories (the new Bach 7C mouthpiece and bottle of valve oil) are also
included, and are brand-new.

Condition Description
This cornet has been fully tested and prepared for sale by our technicians to
ensure complete function and the best possible sound.
The mechanical condition is excellent:
This “ex-demo” cornet is mechanically perfect, just like a “brand-new” instrument.
The slides are clean, unmarked, and properly fitted. They move smoothly and
with appropriate resistance.
The pistons are clean and unmarked. The valve action is smooth, quiet and
responsive.
The cornet blows very well.
The cosmetic condition is excellent:
There are some tiny brown spots underneath the lacquer on the first, third, and
main tuning slides (see photos 9 and 10). These imperfections are purely
cosmetic, and will not impact the health or functioning of the cornet whatsoever.
In our experience, these minor imperfections in lacquer are not uncommon with Vincent
Bach instruments, and should not be of any concern.
There are a handful of very fine scratches and other tiny surface marks in the lacquer
(see photos 9, 10 and 11 for examples).
The overall cosmetic condition is very similar to a brand-new instrument.
Returns/Warranty
If on initial inspection you are disappointed with the item in any way, you may
return it and receive a full refund.
We will offer the instrument with a mechanical warranty for 24 months, but only
a limited cosmetic warranty. The cosmetic warranty is limited to significant
issues.
