Besson 4-valve compensating euphonium

Despite not being the best looking, she plays well. Horn comes with an old Besson case, but no mouthpiece. Send a message if you ...

Thank God they left the 5th rotor trigger assembly, that would have been a deal breaker.

Re: Reverb(TX): MW Thor

I got to see this horn in person the other week, she's quite the beauty. They actually made brand new finger buttons for the horn in house. Also the horn is cheaper on their website:https://houghtonhorns.com/collections/t ... -pre-owned

SOLD: Yamaha YEP-642

Used Yamaha YEP-642, this horn may not be the best looking, but it sure can play. Lacquer is spotty in some spots, but the remaining lacquer on the horn is in good condition, the horn has a couple of small dents. Horn comes with the original case, it's beat up, but still functional. Asking $2,500 ...

FS: St. Petersburg 202

I have discovered that the horn I had was stolen from a school. I am now in contact with the school to get this horn back to the school. If anyone has any advice on what to do in this situation I would really appreciate it.

FS: 1940 Conn 20k

For sale I have a Conn 20k (with the lady face engraving) from 1940. This horn plays amazingly, I prefer how this 84 year old horn plays over my schools brand new 40k's. I'm selling this horn because I have no use for a Sousaphone, and I'm saving up to get a bass tuba. This horn is in good condition ...

SOLD: Miraphone 186

Hello, I am selling my Bb Miraphone 186. This horn is from 1973, and has the "Mirafone" engraving that the early imported Miraphones have. This horn was my project horn, and had a lot of work put into it so it could be brought back to playing condition. The horn was just chemically cleaned, and had ...

Re: Miraphone 186 repair questions

Update, got the horn into the shop. Getting a chem cleaning, fixing the bell, and venting the 1st rotor. Getting this work done at the UNT repair shop, the prices there are really good for the general public, only paying about $340 for all of this, and a student would pay about half of this. It's ...

Miraphone 186 repair questions

I am planning to sell my 1973 Miraphone 186, but it is in rougher shape and needs repair so that I can assure that the buyer gets a good horn. For the most part the horn is in really good condition for it's age, general dents and stuff, and the rotors will need to be adjusted, but it plays pretty ...

Re: Tuba Exchange: Kalison DS $4,495

One of my friends just got one of these horns, it plays really well. He's on the hunt for a thumb ring for his horn as his is missing one, if anyone knows how/where to get one let me know.
