Predecessor to the 4v comp AC163 - if that ever caught your interest, like from the Opus 333 videos, this would be a way to check it out without committing the $$$$. Cool modular body means a restoration would be a fraction of typical cost because the reassembly would be instant.
What to with it - for pickup playing, it has many more tonal possibilities than a euphonium. Ditto for any solo that doesn't require happy round euphonium sound the entire duration. Or just concert band, it's kinda a butch/bilt version of an American baritone.
