I've bought twice from Quinn and was very happy each time. Two classic horns. One an early Sterling and the other a round stamp Sovereign. There's a guy from Germany on EBay named g.mu6 who has many older instruments of European origin who is reputable if there is something that strikes your fancy. I found a very nice Czech Josef Lidl piston bass trumpet through him. Of course for the price of used you can go with Mack Brass. Tom McGrady is a stand-up guy and a pleasure to deal with. He is extremely knowledgable and stands behind his products 100%.

Internet and eBay
The most popular online shopping site for instruments is probably eBay.
eBay has several vendors who frequently have brass. One mentioned by a senior member here is Quinn the Eskimo:

Another very well-known dealer is Woodwind & Brasswind, who carries both new and used instruments, as well as scratch & dent horns (shop worn).

Hi,
I'd like to add my own business www.cash4brass.co.uk as an internet based used brass dealer mainly specialising in professional level brass band instruments. I am based in the UK but happy to ship worldwide and have been selling on ebay (username jennyt125) for over 10 years. The majority of my servicing / restoration work is carried out by Paul Riggett of Sterling Musical Instruments who I am sure many of you are familiar with.
Quinn the Eskimo has even bought several instruments from me to sell on in the USA!
Many thanks, Jenny

Jenny, maybe our members (mostly from the USA) would find it useful to know roughly what it costs to ship a euphonium to the USA. Thanks.Dave Werden (ASCAP)

Thanks to Jenny for the info on shipping costs.
As far as import duties, you can do a rough calculation of 3% for an instrument. Here is a more exact calculator:

And from what I can tell, duty does not vary per state.Dave Werden (ASCAP)

I apologize in advance for bringing it up; I have no intent to start a discussion about state sales/use taxes. That issue is beyond the scope of this forum, and I will only address it in private messages.Dean L. Surkin
