Pretty
nice old Chu Berry tenor. Many pros prefer the Chu's to
the 10M for its sound and slightly easier keywork. This old girl
is a nice re-lacquer that shows some wear. Many folks are
surprised by a pro horn that has almost no engraving. They
don't, don't know why. But, you can see all there is in the next
to last picture. The maker's name and location. That's it.
Came to us recently overhauled. Don't know
which shop but it looks and plays like they know and like Chus.
Too bad young Mr. Berry died in that car crash. He was poised to
give Lester a run for his money to be considered America's
number one tenor man. But, if you get this or another Chu Berry
tenor you really ought to download some sides of Chu with Cab
Calloway's band. The Cat could play. I mean, they named a horn
after him.

All our horns now ship in a ProTec style, zipper

unless otherwise instructed. We recommend this case very highly
and we love to ship in them because then we are
confident there will be no damage.
However, if you feel that you must
have an original, period trunk case (despite smells,
condition, questionable protection for the instrument,
etc.) we have them
available at no additional charge.
Have a look at these cases at:
