WTB: Marching Baritone or Euphonium

[nich9]

I am looking to purchase a marching baritone or euphonium in decent condition asap. I am auditioning for the Bluecoats this year and currently do not have access to a marching horn. I do not have a huge budget, but please just let me know what you are looking to get and we can try to work something out. I would prefer a large shank Yamaha or Jupiter but, as I would like a horn soon, I am willing to look at any brand.

Would this one fit the bill? The price seems pretty attractive, but this is not my field:

I saw the Bluecoats sell used horns. Not cheap but you would be playing something that they have used. Kind of says commitment. Drum corps is a wonderful world. I envy you the opportunity.

Depending on your budget, you may be able to find a Yamaha 301M or 202M (the marching baritone and euphonium that Bluecoats use, both large shank) but those usually go north of $1000 used, unless they are beaten up and/or need repairs.

The Marching Exchange on Facebook and Ebay has been listing some factory refurbished King marching brass for sale recently. They had a few lacquer King K30/SB30 hybrid marching euphoniums for $700 I think, those could be a good option for a solid marching horn at a fair price. They're large shank, and are "hybrid" in the sense that they have features of a marching euphonium, but are a little more compact and not as huge as the 1129 marching euphonium, or other euphs by Jupiter and Yamaha.

Best of luck on your audition! I hope you have a fantastic experience and that the season works out in some shape this year.
