You are bidding on a great project piece. Channel Islands, Northern Ireland etc will be more expensive) I do however travel around the country from time to time so would be happy to meet with the buyer if delivery is not urgent please contact me if you require this. Postage in the UK will be £25 via Interlink Direct/Parcelforce or can be collected from Cornwall( Scottish Highlands. Cheque or bank transfer/draft in UK pounds. More instruments can be found at with a good stock of used professional level instruments. I have tried to describe the instrument as honestly as possible and have taken lots of pictures from all angles so please have a good look at them, if you require any further pictures or information just ask. Will also include the buyers choice of a used mouthpiece with the correct shank if required. Most people tend to use gig bags for these now. Comes with the original hard wooden case which is used but the latches and top handle are working and it does the job. I have play tested the euphonium using the correct mouthpiece and it plays as it should with a good sound through the register.
more as can be seen it the picture have no excessive wear or pitting. The slides, valve top caps, bottom caps and buttons are all free and have been polished. Sterling have rolled these out as best possible without removing any of the original metal however some minor imperfections remain on close inspection. Prior to overhaul the euphonium had some creases to the bell flare. It has just had a complete overhaul and replate by Sterling musical instruments therefore the silver plate is perfect with no wear and shines to a bright finish. In my opinion this instrument is in very good playing and cosmetic condition. Specs are: Key: Bb with four compensating piston valves, Bell: 12 inches.
