    FS: LOOK SOON - 3-Valve Compensating Besson Euphonium - RH Valves - Curved Bell

    This 1948 horn has a decent collection of small dents, but I didn't notice any major structural issues from the photos. It has a removeable curved bell, but is otherwise configured like the standard Bessons. The starting bid is $325 and the buy-it-now price is a reasonable $499!

    Starting bid was lowered to $350 and it sold for that price. Wow!

    Below the photos here (more can be found in the listing) I have included a blow-up of the valves, which don't appear to have excessive wear.

        Gee, I can't believe someone didn't snap it up with the buy-it-now deal!

        I'll modify the original post accordingly. Thanks!

            Sold for min bid $325
            Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 1 Corinthians 13:4

            And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him. 1 John 4:16
