FS: Willson Euphonium and Gig Bag

[Dubby]

Sold pending funds

I’m looking to sell this Willson compensating euphonium in lacquer. It’s in rough cosmetic shape regarding its lacquer, but other than the small dent on the slide pictured, I haven’t found or noticed any issues. I received this in a trade about a year ago from a member over on the old site, but I simply don’t have time to play anymore. Plus, I’m moving around often enough that it’s difficult to find a group to play in. Now it’s just been collecting dust.

I’m assuming this is a 2900L, but I’m not sure. Maybe some folks here can clarify.

The included gig bag is also in rough to decent shape. It’s plenty padded, and there aren’t any rips or tears. The zipper sometimes splits, but the handles keep the bag closed. Also included is a Bach 3G, mouthpiece pouch, and valve oil/cleaning supplies/the like.

I’m located in Minnesota, willing to drive a few hours to meet a serious buyer. I would rather not ship. We can wear masks, stay socially distant. Horn has been cleaned and not played since, though I will continue to keep the valves oiled. If you come to me, you can test it in the church sanctuary with some great acoustics.

I think $3000 is a fair asking price to start, but I could be way off, so I’ll welcome offers and suggestions. https://imgur.com/a/5oIQj2Q here is a link to photos.

Where in Minnesota are you?

I’m a little under an hour west from the Twin Cities. Central Western I’d say, in Howard Lake

Come on, Bort!... Stop fighting it!

If ONLY there were SOMEONE who could sell him a nice/new better-quality USA-made gig bag, once he were to purchase this instrument...(??)

Nailed it!

Oh, you guys...

Trying to find a way to make it work. One issue... I spent most of the fun money on a bass trombone before this came around. That was a nice "get," but it's in the garage loft for an indefinite time (because, no time to play right now). I'd like to have both that and this, but can really only justify one of the two. And for me, valves > slides, so I just don't know. Kinda did things out of order.

Gonna go through my tuba stuff tonight and see what I can sell to get some more $.

Since it was asked on the other forum, yes this is large shank. Bell size is 11.4”

Still available. Why don’t you use some of that nice stimulus money and treat yourself to a euphonium, Bort?
