This instrument has been relisted just recently. So, if you're in the market, it's worth a look again.
So, how does it sound with the original Holton piece? If, as you say, it seems similar to a 6 1/2AL, it might be a good match with the horn, overall. I'm not sure what the shank size would be called,...
The seller has dropped the Buy it Now option. There's one bid at this writing for $300. I guess someone told the seller he or she could get more than the BIN price. We'll see.
Terrific! You got it for a very good price and it sounds like it lives up to its description. I think your daughter will be very pleased, and will enjoy owning it.
Sold at $1380.
Dave,
Have you played one of these Conns? What did you think of it, if so?
Bidding is heating up early for this auction. It's already over $400. I wish I could afford to bid on it.

This was just listed by someone, not me. Looks pretty decent. Seller has 100% positive feedback.

Well, there are many misinterpretations there, but it is still an excellent resource for images of vintage instruments. Frankly, I think a 4-valve version would have been even more unusual in 1908...
Over at Horn-U-Copia, this York model, without the low-pitch extensions, is shown as a 1924 4-valve Baritone. Given the dimensions and large tapered section, I'd still call it a euphonium, but there...
That certainly could me. I'm not sure of the actual age of that instrument, but "Bb Basses" were pretty common in the late 19th and early 20th century. However, all of the ones I have seen were...

Thanks for the information on those additions to the horn. I was puzzled by them when I looked at it.

Thanks for the first-hand info.
Well, I'm left-handed and can't see the problem in playing brass instruments. I have a right hand, and it seems to work OK for many things. Being left-handed doesn't mean that my right hand can't do...
The yodeling thing always seemed a bit to me like octave lip slurs, except with the vocal cords. I never could get the hang of the sudden switch for getting my vocal cords vibrating in two node mode....
Somewhere in my house, I have the Slim Whitman Christmas Album CD. Yodeling Christmas carols. It's a great way to clear the house of guests when they've stayed too long during the holidays. :cool:
Well, I'm assuming you're talking about a flat on the piston. If it's at the bottom of the piston and doesn't interfere in any way with free movement, it probably isn't that important. It's away from...
I agree. Vocal music is always good to work with, especially when you can hear a great vocal stylist interpret it. Technically, this piece is easy, even for me as a beginner. It's how it's played...
My wife's cousin is a talented pianist and accompanist. I was talking with her last week, and mentioned that I was teaching myself the euphonium. As is typical for her, she said, "Cool! Let's play...
My mistake. No, I don't know what it actually brought. Someone got a pretty good deal, I think, either way.
Sold at the Buy-it-Now price.
