Winston Bb Soprano sale

I have a Bb Winston Soprano. Its serial number is 1112686. Its model is a 350 Gl. Im interested in offers at the current moment in time. Its a reasonably new horn, a few years old, but not used a lot. It does have some very noticible scratches on the inside of the bell in a ring all the way around. The keys work fine, it has no high F# or G extension, just your basic keys. Bb tilting spatula keys. Overall in tune instrument. And it playes reasonably well. I don't know exactly how much I am going to sell it for at this point, but I am hoping for at least $700. If your interested, feel free to email me about it at [email protected].

    You can buy them brand new for under $500, so if you're hoping for "at least $700" you're dreaming! They're worth $300-$350.

        Actually, the 350GL has been discontinued. I looked online and found one on close-out for $279.99! The new model that replaced it is the 350 MW. It looks like the same exact horn to me. It's available in several different finishes starting at $479.99. www.musiciansfriend.com/srs7/search/detail/base_id/90001/src=00631
