Berg Larsen ’80-3-M’ Alto, 1970s (refaced) Scoopbill Stainless (Archived)

SOLD - A 1970s era Scoopbill with dropoff chamber & made of Stainless Steel. This one arrived after being altered to sub-par standards. You can barely see the curved machine marks on the table that go left to right. Just back from Bob Carpenter who repaired it back to a much improved playability...tip @ 0.085". It has a stick-on guard (blue) to prevent ligature wear. no ligature, sorry. Nice Berg sound--Deep, Loud w/o shrillness. Why buy new models at 170?

Item:OS00.00.11301.1-0-BC50
