This Swiss made Bb/F compensating euphonium features 3 top action stainless steel piston valves and 1 side piston. Standard for the horn are: valve spring silencers, 11.5" (292 mm) one-piece bell, standard valve bore .591", bright silver plating, Willson compensating system, and the durable Willson case (complete with combination lock and case dust cover, not shown in the picture). In addition, I will include a gold-plated Schilke 51D mouthpiece with this purchase. There is one small ding on the frontal 1st valve tuning slide (as indicated by a little red arrow in the fourth picture above), and just a few very light case scratches. In addition, the pictures above do not give justice to the cosmetic appearance of the horn. For some reason, the lighting on the bell in the picture casts different surface discrepancies, but there are no blemishes or plating issues inside the bell. The horn has its original "moisture catcher" for the 4th valve but is missing the "moisture catcher" for the top 3 valves. This horn has a beautifully rich sound, due to its free blowing nature, and has been in the loving care of a professional musician since its purchase. This euphonium has been played in numerous performance ensembles and venues, including Master classes with Brian Bowman, Tim Northcut, Tony Baker, Scott Watson, and Jason Smith. A new Willson euphonium today retails at around $7,000 and customers who purchase this instrument new generally have a 6 month waiting period before receiving it. Now is your chance to have this horn for much less money and in a fraction of the time. The time couldn't be better to buy this horn at this price, especially if you are college music major getting ready to start the fall term.This auction will be limited to North America, as auctions to other countries/continents would cost too much money in shipping. As always, if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. If you contact me, I can send you more pictures of the horn.Good luck in bidding! Place a Bid!
