Seems like it sold already.

They aren't a very novel playing experience ime, at least with 4 valves. Just a funny looking euphonium.

Pretty sure I pestered you about that B&M (and 173) years ago. Sure was a looker... Need to pester you about another horn some time too

I had a four valve version for a bit years ago. Looked cool, played okay

I don't know enough to recommend anything, but there is a comfortably priced horn in the off-topic clsssifieds.

Cool horns...

What's the 4 valve sousa under it?

Is it fair to call those horns (Bueschers) cut when the branches remain untouched?

I assume the 5th valve (talking about the York now) was an after the fact thing, as Mr. Rusk seemed pretty insistent that the bore through the valves should remain consistent.

Taking a guestimated stab here:

Top to bottom, finger-wise:
LH
1, 2, 5
RH
3, 6, 4

Top to bottom, valve-wise:
6
1
2
5
4
3
6, 1, 2, 4 are in their normal positions (assuming Elektra layout) with only 3 and 5 (close enough) swapped.

Not a single "and that's the way it is" so far

Truth be told, I didn't watch/listen to more than a few seconds I just thought the valves were odd.

Kind of looks like another thumb ring was soldered over the old flange.

I used the link from the share option. Same address as clicking the black area, but that way just wouldn't load for whatever reason.

Very shark

I'm not getting anything from the Imgur box.

Couple random thoughts...
- If a Symphonie/PT-10 fits a 185 bell, what about the JP-15?
- Is a bell enough to un-new-ify a modern 186?

Today is beat the crap out of another bottom bow day

The administrators beat the holy hell out of those boys' butts

This thread went full circle in the behind correcting department.

Sadder they noticed the issue and did a chewing gum fix

Saw this cute thing linked under donn's ebay link. I like how "B&S" it is (even has the MTS gem thing), despite the form being totally contrary to what most of us would associate with the company. Case is cool too. https://www.ebay.de/itm/295937139423?hash=item44e73a62df:g:ox8AAOSwg0hlB~PZ&amdata ...

Is the MW the one you had to add tubing to the comp loop? Might be thinking of something else.
