<p>[QUOTE="lvetterli, post: 949719, member: 130"]Most of the plating is gone, having it replated will affect the tone so if it plays well, don't mess with it other than to replace the pads and have it oiled and the valves reseated if you find out the maker. Look at the lip of the bell, both inside and out and at the bottom curve, usually on the back. Some student horns don't get engraved. We bought 2 Altos and a soprano for our daughter while she was in school. She wanted a baritone, thank heavens we didn't invest in that, her horns have sat untouched for 10 years. </p><p><br /></p><p>Linda[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
