Quick question.
I'm looking at a Selmer Signet Soloist locally.
I found it on facebook.
There is one picture of the Horn and it looks pretty nice.
The Owner has had it since she went to High School.
Most recently she had it refurbed for her middle school Daughter who then lost interest.
I'm looking to meet up with the Seller and check it out.
Looking over the picture again I see a solid band on the top part of the left hand section.
I asked the seller if it had a crack and she said she was not aware of it ever having a Crack.
Quick question then, why should there have been a band there then?
If the seller was not aware of a repair then its got to be a pretty long standing repair and that said would you still buy it or would it be a dealbreaker for you?

Definitely a crack repair. That doesn't necessarily mean its a dud, it may still play well. It does affect the value of the instrument though, and at $400 asking you might try for a reduction to perhaps $300.
