Rath R-900 in near-mint condition for sale.

I play tenor and wanted to double on bass, but there's not enough doubling work to justify keeping it, just lying around.

This horn is immaculate. See Pics https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BzCUeKv1M68hbDRpVGx1SmdXQkU
Lacquer is 100-percent
No dings
Slide is 10 out of 10

Price for horn (without accessories below), including conus shipping/insurance: $2800 (nearly $500 below Dillon's price)

Accessories also for sale (as a package, with the horn)*

Leather Specialties hand slide and neck/valve guards for R900 in perfect condition - cost $36 new
Wallace bass trombone straight mute in perfect condition - cost $95 new
Rath bass trombone pencil holder and putt-putt golf-sized Rath Trombones pencil - priceless
Rath B2 gold-plated bass trombone mouthpiece in perfect condition, cost $180 new

heavy-duty ballistic nylon construction...but don't try shooting at it with the horn inside

I've been searching for a bass for my grandson, a terrific HS Junior that wants to go on to major at the next level. I almost scored a Shires from this site, but it remained a little out of reach.

He has tried many horns and loves the Yamaha YBL-830. But he has never tried the Rath. Can you (or any of your esteemed colleagues) offer any comparison/contrast between the Rath and the other brands.

Thanks.

Hi - totally my fault - I thought I read R9.
Sorry to bother you.
