Cocus or Rosewood? Silver head cap and foot cap. No pewter plugs on the C & C#.
It seems to have been well played in it's life. No makers marks (perhaps under the electrical tape on the barrel?) . According to Terry McGees C# to D# scale it is 250.8 mm, so should play in the neighborhood of 440htz. The head cork is crumbling so it is unplayable for now. #4 tone hole is 8.5mm, so almost medium. The embochure is 12mm x 9.5mm which seems a little large (and somewhat rectangular).
Fully lined head (with a crack on the back side), typical barrel crack over the slide.
8 keys plus. A right and left hand touch for the A#. A very long key to below the C? Would that be for venting? "B" foot??
Any ideas on age or origin would be appreciated. Thanks!
