Members soundministries Posted August 1, 2008 Members Share Posted August 1, 2008 I'd buy it. You could use it as a starter horn and then probably sell it for at least the same amount and probably more, to a beginner student later on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MarkZ Posted August 1, 2008 Members Share Posted August 1, 2008 If it's missing a 3rd valve button (which is more than a "cosmetic" issue), that's going to cost just a few bucks to replace. It's still worth $30 to mess around. Have the seller include shipping and buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members sunburstbasser Posted August 2, 2008 Members Share Posted August 2, 2008 Buy it. One repairman I know actually had to make a button for an old junker euphonium. He used a machine screw, a dime, and a little ring of some kind. Worked very nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members saxdad1 Posted August 9, 2008 Members Share Posted August 9, 2008 It will need a new leadpipe soon, that one looks like it has a nasty case of red rott. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
