For Sale: Yamaha 641 Compensating Euphonium

Hi, I'm putting my Yamaha 641 compensating euphonium up for sale. This model is almost the same as the current 642 model, but the 641 has an 11" bell. My euphonium has a couple of dings, scratches, and wear here and there. This horn has recently been flushed, cleaned, serviced, etc. (about 2 months ago) so it is in playing shape and ready to go.

A picture is located at http://www.alftv.net/images/EuphoniumAfter2.jpg

I'd like to get $2300 for it (I'll pay for shipping to Continental United States - insurance included). I'm selling this (and a couple of other horns) so I can buy a Shires tenor trombone (http://www.seshires.com) - great horns!

<EDIT>One thing I forgot to mention is how I acquired this horn. The last owner was a bit careless and dented the second valve, so naturally I bought it. I had the second valve replaced, the valve is brand new, and everything else works great.</EDIT>

Please e-mail me at ParLawGod@Yahoo.com if you're interested (or PM me).

The euphonium is still for sale - I'm located in Wisconsin. I will also include a gold-plated Denis Wick SM4 with the euphonium.

Price is now $2150 - I really didn't intend to go this low, but I NEED to sell this horn so I can purchase my new trombone on time.

This sounds like a good deal to me. I play on a 641 and they're excellent! I wish you were selling it about 4 years ago.

EuphoniumDude should contact you in my opinion.

Definitely is a great horn! I hate to get rid of it - but since I'm a trombone major in college I really need to invest in a better trombone. I'm currently playing Principal Euphonium in my college wind ensemble and since the school is letting me use their Besson 967 there's really no reason to keep mine. A few people asked me "why don't you sell your double-bell euphonium" - my response - "nope".

Hi, I didn't receive your private message at all (not sure why) - could you try contacting me via e-mail (ParLawGod@Yahoo.com)?

C'mon guys and gals - still gotta sell this horn.

$2100 takes it - again I'll pay for shipping to Continental United States and throw in a gold-plated Steven Mead SM4 mouthpiece.

That is such a good deal. I bought a used 641 for $2k in Pittsburgh in much worse condition than the horn you're advertising. Arrgh! I waited and waited, and I wish I were still in the market and you'd have a deal.

Great horn folks, give this a look.
