They are on ebay too separately.

Isn't that one of those Bessons with the bell right in front of the player's face? If the seller would throw in a video camera and monitor so I could see the director as I played, I might consider it.

Boy, there are quite a few Olds/Bach three-valvers around lately. They're nice playing horns. I liked my Bach when I had one.

I'd take a close look at the Besson and the Conn if I were there.

Might take a week of scrubbing to find out what's under the patina.

Instruments are located in the Warren OH area. Before the Youngstown Tubachristmas, I checked these out and ended up purchasing the shinier Olds (which played better than the other one despite having a damaged first valve knuckle) for my daughter to play.
