Condition – This one is a head scatcher. You are probably wondering why the price is so low for a BD Hollywood. For the most part the condition is excellent, considering its age. Tip and rails are very good aside from a couple minor nicks on the tip rail. Much of the gold plating still remains. It also still has the original bite plate. Then there is the baffle and floor…. At some point some decided to have it filed down. The baffle is still there but just behind the baffle (what I call the floor) has been filed down so as to be rounded. Perhaps they felt the piece was too bright?!? I have tried to capture is in the pictures, but if you want more sent to you, just let me know. Regardless the reed seal is perfect and it is an incredible player. Full BIG sound with a nice edge. Very round full tone and an easy mouthpiece to play. What a player!! If you are looking for a BD Hollywood for a little less money, you might want to try this one.
