For sale: B&S Goldbrass Baritone
Posted: Mon Oct 23, 2023 5:39 pm
I'm also selling my ca.1978 B&S Baritone. It's one of the completely handmade/bend in lead premium versions with the single seam bell. Sort of a mini symphonie in Bb?
I've floated the leadpipe off the bell and there is a bit of lacquer loss here and there but it's in fantastic condition especially for its age. The valves and linkage are absolutely tight and silent. There are a few tiny dings but they are almost invisible and I decided to leave them be. Although it's great for deutsche Blasmusik and Oktoberfest, I've used it for tuba quartet and solo projects and it was great! The valves have a shorter action type of mechanic and can easily keep up with a modern piston euphonium.
Price 2500€. A new modern production version runs around 4.000 and a truly handmade version is double that.
I would prefer pick up in Berlin Germany but shipping is possible but at your expense.
Thank you for looking and please contact me if you have any further questions or if you would like to see more photos.
