Hey all,

Hope it's okay to post this here - I'm looking to buy a decent euphonium or baritone that is under $300. I started playing just a couple years ago on a crappy $100 chinese horn, which sounded pretty sub-par. I bought a Yamaha YEP-201 on ebay last year and found that it had been frankenstein repaired, leaked a bunch and did not play well. Thus, I'm trying to avoid ebay. Anyone know of any amazing deals on a good horn that can be vouched for? Preferably that is on the smaller side of the spectrum? Let me know. Thanks all!

You may want to try calling Stan Kolb at Taylor Music in Aberdeen, SD: 800.872.2263.

He's got dozens of these instruments in varying conditions. If you don't care what it looks like, you can probably get a decent player at close to your budget.

You could buy my four-rotor oval euph/baritone. $300 OBO. Lives in Rochester, NY

I bought a tuba from this guy and had him do some work before shipping it. I was very happy with the whole experience-

That looks like a good deal, but ... it's funny it turns out to be the same thing you apparently already have. Frankenstein repair - mismatched donors? If it's just cleaning up some solder joints, that might be cheaper than buying a new one. I've never seen the baritone, but the lady of the house has a 201 alto horn that seems pretty nice.
