Serial #486585 – 1970 Vintage
Used – good condition.
This euphonium was purchased new by a local band director during his college years. Our service department removed some minor dents and ultrasonically cleaned and flushed the internal tubing. Areas of worn or discolored finish were shined and buffed. A new coat of clear lacquer was applied so the nice finish will be maintained.
The euphonium still has the original lacquer with approximately 10% finish wear/discoloration.
The nickel-plated pistons are air tight and show no wear.
This has all original parts including the cone shaped finger buttons, top and bottom valve caps.
