SOLD FLASH SALE Besson New Standard euphonium 3v - $400
Posted: Sat Feb 27, 2016 8:50 pm
Compensating euphonium for sale. In presentable shape, but not really any better than just that. See pics!
If you don't know the model, it's .580" bore, 11" bell, euro shank. Comp system really works for all valve combinations, classic brass band sound, ect ect. You could even argue it's better that the 4v comp that sells for 3x this price, because less dead weight, fewer braces, and better 12 or 3 intonation. As long as you don't go below low E, which euph parts rarely ask for (and even more rarely, add anything to the music)
Many small dents. Most body dents are just flat spots with no depth, and would probably push up easily besides on the bottom bow. The one on the leadpipe is noticable in pictures, but it's just a flatspot. The bell has a lot of pings and a bit of a wave, nothing seriously bashed in. Pistons shown.
Satin silver finish is very good, no bare patches. Except where a lacquer part was used on 1st valve slides and 2 bottom caps. These were genuine Besson parts. 2 finger buttons are new King buttons that fit great, 1 is the original "castle" button. I don't know why 2nd stem would only accept the castle button, consider it a bonus. It sits at the same height, so no worries.
Yamaha lightweight plastic case: +$40
Euro to small shank adapter: +$10
In Madison WI or u pay shipping.
