Thread: Price of a King 2280

  1. Price of a King 2280

    I am new to the fourms, it has been about 6 years since I have played the euphonium but I am looking for a horn to start playing again and I dont want to break the bank. That being said, is $800 dollars a fair price for a used King 2280. It has two dents both look as if they would not affect playability, purely cosmetic. Also what is the going rate to get a horn chem. cleaned as I am not to found of having someone elses dried saliava in my horn. Thanks in advance.

    $800 would be a steal (assuming that the condition is as described). A rough rule of thumb for used horns is 50% of new price. WWBW is selling the 2280 for $3310, and the "Buy It Now" price for new 2280s is around $2500.

    Chem cleaning prices seem to vary by region and from shop to shop. In this area, a 4-valve euph runs anywhere from $60 to $120.

    Just to clear up a confusing point, WWBW sells the new ones for $2,549 in silver and $2,299 in lacquer. The one for $3,310 is in their OUTLET - go figure.

    Anyway, I agree totally that a good 2280 is easily worth $800.
