It is positioned as an intermediate model between the 2B and 3B.

▼ About the Sound
Compared to my other 3B instrument, the brass outer slide produces a deeper resonance than nickel. I believe it's a sound that shines with its natural tone.
Also, while the bore diameter is larger than the standard 2B, the bell diameter is designed to be smaller, which I feel allows for clearer articulation with a strong breath.
Furthermore, with the sterling silver bell, it produces a rich, far-reaching, and overwhelming sound that envelops other horns.

▼ About the Condition
There are signs of use from normal use, but the slide is still smooth and in good condition for main use.
There are black stains on the bell joint.
There is lacquer peeling on the slide grip.
Please check the photos.

▼ Accessories
The counterweight has been replaced with the popular older specification silver plate. The original weight before replacement is also included. The medal that was attached to the weight is not included.
A mouthpiece is not included. It will be shipped in the original coffin case.

I had kept this as a backup instrument, but I am selling it as I will not have the opportunity to use it in the future.
