FS: Besson Sovereign Euphonium $950 *SOLD

Post by Ndtuba »

Hey Everybody,

With much hesitation, I am listing my euphonium for sale. I LOVE this horn and hate to sell it but I haven't been playing it for a couple of years and just purchased another trombone (primary instrument), so the wife says I have to give it up...
It is a 4 valve, compensating horn; in extraordinarily great condition, given its age, and plays easily and beautifully. It kind of looks rough because of the tarnish but that can be removed if it bothers you. The satin silver finish is about 95% intact under the tarnish. There are only a couple of small dings on the bottom bow (see pictures), and otherwise, it's in perfect condition.
It does NOT come with a case.
Asking $950. Let me know if you are interested!

Thanks!

One quick update based on a couple questions I've been asked via pm: This horn is large shank and has an 11 inch bell.
Thanks for looking!

Get some rags, in 1/2 hour or less....double the price...MUCH easier....
Good luck!

Well, I thought about that... Frankly, 2 hours are hard to come by with a 7 year old and a one year old! If it doesn't sell in a week or two I may try that.
