That seller frequently has old European stuff that is very different from instruments made in the US. There are quite a few trumpets and flugelhorns in different sizes and keys and most of the have rotary valves. Lots of violins and accordions and stuff.

On the OP's link, it looks like the bell and stack are the only things which could be used "as-is". So, if anyone has a stovepipe European tuba with a crushed bell, you may be a winner!

It seems like I've seen that same listing for many months now.

"3/4 instrument with open sound"

Seems like some of these 80+ year old horns from sellers in Germany and Eastern Europe just languish in eBay purgatory for months, if not years. I would never spring on one, but maybe somebody wants to make some wall art.
