This one has been extensively discussed in an earlier thread. I doubt very much whether it is in Bb as advertised. The slides and body are definitely too small for Bb, although I guess it could be a Bb baritone. You will notice that there is no way to play this with the mouthpiece where it is shown. Even a couple of tuning bits puts that mouthpiece in a strange position.

My favorite feature of this is that it has been "tuned at the factory." You will notice that none of the valve slides appear to be moveable.

A fellow brought be an Indian euph a couple of days ago because the 3rd piston was sticking. The 3rd valve tubing had been whacked in transit (or at the factory) and was causing the problem. After the valve was working OK, I played the horn. It was about 30 cents flat. The seller (Tristar) was contacted and they agreed to send a new 'factory' slide that is 1" shorter. Maybe some day their workmanship will come up to their customer service.
