FS: Willson Euphonium and Gig Bag

Post by Dubby »

Sold.

I’m looking to sell this Willson compensating euphonium in lacquer. It’s in rough cosmetic shape regarding its lacquer, but other than the small dent on the slide pictured, I haven’t found or noticed any issues. I received this in a trade about a year ago from a member here, but I simply don’t have time to play anymore. Plus, I’m moving around often enough that it’s difficult to find a group to play in.

I’m assuming this is a 2900L, but I’m not sure. Maybe some folks here can clarify.

The included gig bag is also in rough to decent shape. It’s plenty padded, and there aren’t any rips or tears. The zipper gets stuck sometimes, but it works. Also included is a Bach 3G, mouthpiece pouch, and valve oil/cleaning supplies/the like.

I’m located in Minnesota, willing to drive a few hours to meet a serious buyer. I would rather not ship. We can wear masks, stay socially distant. Horn has been cleaned and not played since, though I will continue to keep the valves oiled. If you come to me, you can test it in the church sanctuary with some great acoustics.

I think $3000is a fair asking price to start, but I could be way off, so I’ll welcome offers and suggestions. https://imgur.com/a/5oIQj2Q here is a link to photos.

Does this euphonium have a medium or large shank receiver? (Or small?)

The quickest way to distinguish between a 2900 and a 2950 is the bell diameter: 2900 is under 12” and 2950 is over. The 2900 is available with medium or large receiver and, I think, the 2950 is only available with the large receiver. Those are the only two compensating euphoniums I’ve seen in the US from Willson, but I’m sure there are both older and newer models out there...

Thanks,
