FS: 1975 Besson 4-Valve Compensating Euphonium in Silver

[davewerden]

This is a large-shank horn in bright silver, which was not standard in the USA (perhaps it was made for the British market). It has taken a few hits over the years, based on photos, but nothing I see is of major concern. The valves look quite good and seller states it has good compression. Includes a new SBK hard case. Current bid is $1,399, so this could be a great bargain!

ITEM SOLD FOR $1,630 - THAT COUNTS AS A BARGAIN!

Awww... Poor baby has booboos. (laugh) Only half kidding. I saw the picture of the missing piece of the bottom bow guard and winced. I feel for the poor horn. I wonder how much it would cost to fix that part up, or at least make it less cosmetically glaring. But good on the seller for making full disclosure of the horn's flaws. And I do hope someone adopts it and loves it.
