Vintage Pans for sale

 

 

A friend of mine has two oldies but goldies for sale:
1 - Painted C lead tenor, circle of fifths, built by Patrick Arnold. Comes with stand and fiber case; all for the bargain price of $375. Actually sounds pretty good.
1 - Set of Ellie Mannette built, painted double seconds. Comes with stand and fiber cases for $950.

Both set of pans were probably built in the 80s and look a little crude compared to today's pans, but they both have a surprisingly sweet ring probably due to the quality of steel that was available back then. Call me if you're interested. They won't be around very long.
