The tale of a Selmer Ct

Ah, the shining hope, the anticipation, and then the heartbreak. I got it for what I consider a reasonable price. I knew it was probably not without problems. It arrived, and I was pleasantly surprised by what looked like decent condition. A great start. It neede to be regulated and I had that done straight away.

The list: its very difficult to play. Way more resistance than I expected. I'm using a #4 Aria on a Behn Sono on my Backun Alpha. That combination on the CT is nearly un-playable. I can get it to play with a #3 Aria or a #3 blue box but the resistance is still significant.

It squeaks all over the horn. Every register.

There is now a good crack in the bell. I assume from the moisture of playing. I fear more cracking.

What to do?
