SOLD - Jupiter 4-valve euphonium $500
Posted: Sun May 20, 2007 7:46 pm
I bought this on ebay a couple of months ago, and have since realized I have barely a use for a euphonium.
The instrument is a JEP-470, a small bore 4-valve euphonium. It includes a Getzen 6 1/2 AL mouthpiece and the original Jupiter case. The auction mentions a ding on the outer bugle. I would say the ding is a bit smaller than a quarter, but very shallow. One problem I noticed but the auction didn't, is that there seems to be a vibration coming from one of the screws that holds the valve section to the rest of the horn. I'm sure this could easily be fixed with a little rubber o-ring.
The case is in very good condition, the Jupiter logo is missing, but that doesn't in any way affect the protection it offers. The underside has been scuffed up a little, but nothing that even comes close to compromising the integrity of the case.
I do not have convenient access to a camera, I have linked the ebay auction I purchased it in which has three pictures of the instrument. If you want pictures you'll have to wait until I find a camera, or if you're in Florida I will be at SRTEC this coming weekend. I'm not sure how much room I'll have in my car for everything, so if you want me to bring it to the conference please speak out ASAP.
I will let it go for $450 + shipping. The horn will be shipping in the case inside a larger box, exactly as it came to me. Total weight will be about 27 pounds. It cost me $49.62 to have it shipped to me, so it should be around $500 shipped to the continental United States. I will accept almost any form of payment, though paypal is preferred.
