Are the low B and Bb keys on the same side of the bell or opposite? Or, more to the point, what's the Serial#? You didn't happen to mention is it alto or tenor...

Dealers seem to ask $1200-1400 for altos like that (properly overhauled). These are the dealers who are already recognized as vintage horn sources and expect...
