What's a fair price for a King K90 G contra?

[arpthark]

I don't have one, but there is one near me. I'm trying to determine if it is a good deal.

What's your random stab?

As shown:

If the bell is the same as a 2341 bell, those bells (only) go for $400 (in decent condition) these days.

I'd personally be about as interested in the rest of it as are a couple of people here in my anti-C rhetoric.

Yeah, I have no idea what I'd do with the rest of it. My thought was bell/collar/braces might be of interest to me/others. Can't even really play it in TubaChristmas and the like.

You could use those GG bows to convert a 5XJ to BB-flat...??

[Tubajug]

Do like @the elephant is doing and turn it into a BBb or even a CC instrument!

Your anti-C antics.

[bloke]

Well, they seem to troll at least one person in particular.

Do ten dogs make a K90?

Maybe, or nine kats.

I’d offer whatever you think the market will pay for the upright bell and then enjoy disassembling the thing into bits and using the parts to horse trade.

These are silver plate, not chrome, right?

I played a K90 back in 94/95 for fun at a camp**, and I remember* it being silver plated.

*both in terms of looks and sulfur smell

**Magic of Orlando. I knew I wasn’t going to march, I just wanted to see what the hype was about.

I sure wish I could find one somewhat close to SoCal, just for nostalgia’s sake, having used one in the defunct Velvet Knights.

I think I've decided to pass on the one near me. I am going to be out of town for a while. Maybe when we come back and if it is still available.
