Nope, this is a factory-original big B&M Marzan from 1974 5p+1r, in beautiful condition, valves are tight. No leaks, no dents. A slide-puller's dream. The previous owner agrees with my assessment, BTW.

Oddly, extending the tuning slide to bring the pitch of the instrument down to BBb greatly improves the intonation.

Best that I can figure is that Fred had a bad day when this one was built. Too bad; it's a pretty horn.
