    Thumbs up FS: Yamaha 642S Euphonium - Good Price - UPDATED LINK

    The 642 (pre Neo) is a nice instrument that has many fans. This one is in very good shape for a very good price. I see a dent in the 1st valve tube that I would think about fixing (probably needs a magnetic ball set, I'm guessing), but it is not too bad (see 4th photo). Otherwise it looks quite clean. A soft case is shown in the photos. See the listing for a generous supply of photos. For a buy-it-now price of $4,500 it is a nice bargain for a pro compensating top-brand euphonium. But if you feel lucky there is a Make Offer button.

    SOLD...BUT PRICE IS NOT DISCLOSED

    Dave,

    I just wanted to clear up on how you would remove said dent in the 1st valve loop. A technician usually as a huge set of threaded dent balls in increasing sizes that can be attached to flexible or fixed rods. In this case you would use a flexible rod to enter the first valve loop and get to the dent behind the curve. Just pulling dent balls through in increasing sizes should do the trick.

    Magnetic dent tools work great on larger dents in the larger areas of a large brass instrument like the bell, bottom bow and if you’re lucky the top bow. They need a large, heavy magnetic dent ball to be able to roll the dent out. In this case you would only be able to fit a smaller dent ball and that wouldn’t do much as there’s simply just not enough mass.

    Other than the dent this looks like a great deal.
