Looking to buy a Yamaha 642S Euphonium

A good friend of mine is looking for a YEP-642S euphonium.

Anyone have one of these in good condition they want to sell?

Thanx.

Nope - Not yet. We had a lead on one at David Fedderly's who had a trade-in, but it's been sold already.

Why - do you have one to sell?

Thanks Charlie. I just looked on their web page, but didn't see one listed. I've emailed Matt (actually Nick I guess) to see if they do in fact have a used 642 for sale.

Thanks Travis. I contacted you.

Well Travis, I heard from my friend (who contacted you Saturday afternoon) that you already sold your horn.

Still looking for a 642... if there are any to be sold?

Thanks for responding.

$4000 is the going price for a brand new silver horn. Don't you think this is a bit high? Besides... I think my friend is looking for 'silver' but I'll pass this information along to him.

Thanks.

Okay, that's WWBW price, but Dillon Music just quoted me $3995 a few days ago. Go figure?!

The maximum advertised price for a new Yamaha 642 might be over $4k, but they will definitely sell it below that. Prior to trading in my 642 for the Besson at Baltimore Brass, I did some research. WWBW told me (in March) that a new 642 in silver would be $3800.

Thanks Scott.

BTW, your horn you traded @ Baltimore Brass has already been sold.

Hi Tom,

Thanks for the info. I told my buddy about your horn and he says he's looking for silver.

Thanks anyway.

Rick - check out the bottom of this page:

Don't know if the info there is current but there may be a lead or two there.

Hi Paul,

I found one of those a couple of weeks ago and emailed him (James..riverside) but he never responded. The other one listed there is new to me - but it's too much I'm afraid.

Thanks for the heads-up though.
