So for a couple months ive had this medium/euro shank euphonium and ive been trying to decide on whether to invest in it and get it all fixed up so I can use it or the other option is to sell it.
Some background is that im a U.S college student and im looking to upgrade to a better instrument. Ive been using a large shank chinese horn.
Ive asked some friends who are more knowledgeable than me about investing in it and they have been warning me about how much of a hassle and expensive it would be to get it fully repaired right now and later down the line if it gets damaged because its an older instrument and especially since its medium shank.
Also since the medium shank isnt a very popular shank size if i were to keep it would it be better to change the shank of the instrument to large or change the mouthpiece itself to a medium shank?
