This Paxman Academy is in surprising shape for a "pre-owned" horn. Most stores would consider this "demo" or "B-stock" in its condition. It was briefly played, with no signs or major wear or repair, the rotors test within original tolerances, and 99% original lacquer remains. It includes the original case with backpack straps. It has been ultrasonically cleaned and inspected by our world-class shop, and would be a great option for a student or hobbyist. For $800 off the new price, this is an excellent deal on a Paxman Geyer style model!
