Oval euph BODY ONLY $50 OBO + shipping

Post by arpthark »

Hi,

I have an old oval euphonium body made by Jin Bao (actually branded Jin Bao, even).

No valves or slides but contains mouthpipe and the bell section. Lacquered brass.

Asking $50 plus shipping to CONUS.

Pics forthcoming.

Thanks! Please PM me if interested.

Blake

I may be mistaken, but my understanding is that these were Miraphone knock-offs.

If I'm correct - and if the copying is faithful (??), this might be an affordable way to eliminate a body portion from a Miraphone - which has been patched or irreparably ruined in some other way - and replacing it.

Someone with a trashed Miraphone body (clumsy refinishing/restoration/patches/etc), but a decent Miraphone valveset could probably upgrade their instrument with this...(??)
