A very nice used Sterling that is is excellent condition. Silver plated with gold trim. It has the heavy gauge red brass bell that I liked the best when I played Sterling, and this bell is 12" (larger than the one I had). An excellent British-made euphonium that has a modernized version of the traditional British tone. The seller says is has the Bauerfeind valve set, but he also says he bought the horn new in 2018. I thought Sterling had gone to a Chinese valve group by then, but if he bought this from Custom Music (which used to be the exclusive U.S. distributor), it could all be true. Custom had some older stock that might have had those valves, but which were still new horns. Starting price is $4,599 and buy-it-now is $6,000. Either price represents an excellent buy for a horn of this quality.
SOLD FOR $4,599
