VMI Mel Culbertson "Neptune" 6/4 CC for sale. 5 rotary valves. $5,900. Includes hard and soft cases, medium and large leadpipes.
This is by far one of the best Neptunes I've ever played. I bought it used (2 years old) and have owned it for a little over a month. It plays similarly to my PT-6, just with more girth and subwoofer in the sound. Incredible response! Excellent condition, near perfect...a small ding on the bell.
I am selling it because: It's just not what I'm totally looking for...I may never find what I'm TOTALLY looking for! That's it. It's a great horn.
I'm located in Southwestern Michigan, however I will be making trips out to Massachusetts about every two weeks while I'm on summer break. If you live along I-90, I'd be happy to stop and let you test drive it.
