I am considering selling my old (60's vintage I believe) King 2341 and am wondering what a reasonable price would be. I bought the horn for $800 in pretty poor but playable shape with two bells and two cases, then gave it to the local brass technician for the summer and got it back stripped of laquer, completely dent-free, with completely redone valves (re-plated and honed), looking beautiful and playing very well. Now I have an opportunity to get a MW 2145 at a great price and am debating whether or not to sell the King. All in all, $3,000 went in to the instrument (purchase and work). Can I expect to get that much out of it again? I haven't been polishing the brass and I have inflicted two very minor dents but it is in otherwise perfect shape. Thanks for any help.
