I liked the later-model York that I picked up a month or so back, so I figured I try this one. Looks like it may have potential:

Don't know what to say about that besides..... VERY interesting.

I take it you already own a similar horn? Just for chat-sake, what are your impressions of it?

Thanks!

Interesting horn.
Does it play in Bb and A like the old Buescher trumpets with the key change valve?

Well, the other York I have is a later model, non-convertable, and nowhere near as intricately engraved. I like the effect of satin silver exterior and gloss silver inside the bell. The bell rim is crimped back, resulting in a fairly sharp edge (see below). I like the feel and blow of it; I need to have it worked on a bit though. One of the braces is missing and the other is loose.
