Hi, I'm selling a Meinl Weston Bill Bell model. It's a 4-valve rotary, and it's in nice shape. The horn is about 25-30 years old, and I play it in a quintet and a small brass choir. The reason I'm selling it is because next fall, I'm going to be playing in a lot of large ensembles/orchestras, and while the Meinl's compact sound is awesome for quintet/small ensembles, it's compact sound is definately doesn't go well with an orchestra. I'm a high school senior, and I made first chair all-state on this horn last year, so it's a very nice instrument- but with a very small-ensemble or solo-quality sound. If you want pics, I can send them
Good luck in finding a horn,
