Pre-Owned Instruments

Buescher Epoch model Compensating Double-bell Euphonium – $3,750.00

Buescher Epoch model compensating double-bell euphonium, ser.# 35972, silver, with ProTec bag. Manufactured in mid’ 1917, this rare beauty has a .562″ bore, 12″/7″ bells, and a Euro-sized mouthpiece receiver.

This is the only American-made compensating euphonium I’ve encountered and rare because it remains in very good playing condition. A real jewel of a double-bell euphonium………………$3,750.00

King 1240 BBb Recording Bass – $3,250.00

King 1240 BBb recording bass, ser.# 453694, 3 piston, original hard-shell cases.

The most pristine satin silver King I’ve ever encountered, this tuba was made ca. 1968, after the Seeburg Company had bought King (see case tag detail). Extra effort went into small repairs of the tuba, and the very nice original hard cases. A fine player with stunning looks, I think it needs to be seen & heard!……$3,250.00

Conn 14K BBb Sousaphone – $2,850.00

Conn 14K BBb Sousaphone, ser. #E32159, .730″ bore, 24″ bell, Elkhart 1965 production, with case.

Freshly cleaned and dent-free, this iconic sousaphone is ready to play. Comes with a hard case. ………$2,850.00

King 2350 BBb Sousaphone – $4,950.00

King 2350 sousaphone, ser. # 909549, silver, 3 pistons, neck, tuning bits, MTS hardcase, mouthipiece.

Freshly overhauled and silver plated, I decided to have the slides and removable valve parts nickel plated for extra durability. It has a new upper mouthpipe and tuning bits, mouthpiece & lubricants, and comes in a new MTS hard case. I did not try to remove every scratch, but rather save the metal thickness, so that it plays very well and will last. The new mouthpiece is one of mine, or a Helleberg 120 or 7B, your choice….$4,950.00

St. Petersburg 206N Eb Tuba – SOLD

St. Petersburg 206N Eb tuba, nickel-plated, 15 3/4″ bell, 35 7/8″ tall, .709″ bore.

The 206N Eb is of traditional European construction, with modern valve linkage for trouble-free performance. A flat-whole-step 5th rotor makes the low range very accessible, and response is quick and sure. The sound of this nickel-plated tuba is unique, able to blend easily in a small ensemble, yet project well enough to be heard in larger ensembles. An excellent specimen of this model, it’s being offered with the hard case, both in nearly-new condition at a discounted price…….$4,350.00
