With work, this could be one heck of a horn. Straight bores produced beautiful big sounds. In the wrong hands a repairman can screw it up.

For example the Yamaha CSG clarinet is a straight bore and the sound quality and evenness of each note is spot on. The older Buffet's have their challenges with dead notes and out of tune 10ths. This can be adjusted, it may not be perfect, but the sound quality should be warmer compared to the Yamaha horns.

The cost to get one of these horns working really well might be around $500, plus a barrel and a bell, so add another $300.
