    Getzen 300 Series Cornet, Used, Lacquered. Condition is "Seller refurbished"
    . This is a student level instrument and would be good for someone just starting out or could be used as a decorative piece. If to be played, please see the description of repairs below as the instrument was badly damaged when received. The instrument works well now with the significant problems having been addressed. Some aesthetic issues remain such as some small dents and scratches or worn lacquer. Valves move freely despite small gaps between valves and valve casing (see below for details) and all slides move and have been well greased. Mouthpiece included. Case not included.
    Description of Repairs:
    Instrument has undergone significant repairs including removal of large dents in the shepard's crook region and the lead pipe near the water key with several smaller dents remaining in those areas (see photos). Some re-soldering was required with a few brackets having previously come loose, as well as replacement of the main water key. There are some areas on the instrument where the lacquer has worn away either through some scratches sustained on the bell or areas that had significant dents.
    More importantly, the valve casings had some small dents affecting the movement of the valves, particularly the first valve. The dents were carefully taken out and the valves move freely. However, there are some minor gaps between the valves and the casings which can be felt when the valves are depressed, but they still move well and the sound of the instrument not affected.
