Serial # 76460.  One of the last Cleveland built horns.  No lacquer. This horn will satisfy a serious player.  It has a wonderful bottom end sound, in addition to a well-notched high end. The NiSi (solid nickel silver) model was added to the Reynolds line at the same time the famous Chambers model was introduced. Not many were made, (compared to the Chambers NiSi) for several reasons, management at Reynolds, the sale of the company to the RMC (Roth/Richards Music Co). This only lasted a couple of years and soon the factory was moved to Abilene.  This horn had a badly damaged bell tail and flare. The flare was  replaced with a heavy spun flare, which was made on the same mandrel as the Pottag bell, additionally there is a patch near the mouthpiece brace. The lead  pipe is origional to the horn.  The patch is covering, not a bash or cave-in but a fracture in the NiSi.  I took it off to see what was under the patch.  I’ll send you the old flare if you want. No charge!! The end result is a ready to play detachable flare Pottag design horn in NiSi. Generic Screwbell case, sort of a Reunion Blues style, but not as good. No mouthpiece. Email questions. It is ready to be played right away. The valves are fast, smooth and quiet, and the compression is good.  This instrument is guaranteed to please.
