Wessex Euphonium Dolce EP-100
SOLD (although the Pro-Tec gig bag referenced below is still available)
This is a like-new Wessex Dolce Ep-100 lacquer euphonium that I would estimate has been played fewer than 10 hours. Probably a lot fewer, actually.
It's the current model: red-brass bell and lead-pipe, spit-valved 2nd, etc, and has all the (new/unused) accessories that it came with: Wessex mouthpiece, snap-on drip-catcher tray for the valve-set, spare valve spring & valve-guide, extra lyre screw, and, of all things, a spare spit-valve cork (that was a first for me). The case has attachment points for a shoulder strap, but I did not receive any. I didn't anticipate needing them, so I didn't pursue it, and figured they weren't a standard inclusion. If that's important to you, I'd recommend calling Andy at Wessex - their support reputation is very good.
I bought this as a step-up horn for my son when he was a high-school freshman, figuring that if he didn't want it, I would keep it as a "rest-of-my-playing-days" horn for the occasions that I needed a euphonium (I have mostly played tuba the last 20 years), but circumstances changed, and I play-tested it, put it on a shelf, and there it has sat for the past 2 years (I like the Yamaha sound, but it doesn't fit my needs/wishes).
It looks brand new - no dents, scrapes, dings. Valves are great - and it plays remarkably well. Easy blowing, even up the scale, and sounds lovely. Intonation is very good for me - as good as any & better than most other euphs I've played (I've owned Yamahas, Willsons, Bessons, Sterling, and play-tested Adams, et al.) - even the notorious 6th partial ENat & F.
$1,150 + actual shipping cost (buyers-choice for carrier & insurance) from California

For another $50, I'll add a like-new Protec gig bag that I've never used but to store the horn. I've added pictures of my bag to the google drive link. Pretty sure it's this model bag:

The Wessex case looks similar to the Protec, but it's larger, stiffer, heavier, and provides better protection. It's of course not as portable/maneuverable as the Protec gig bag.
