Re: For sale: B&S Goldbrass Baritone
I have an almost identical horn here in almost new condition (although with another stamp on the bell and an older linkage), and I can attest that this horn is everything that Louis says it is!

Re: For sale: B&S Goldbrass Baritone
Cool horn and I like the hard case.
For sense of scale, how big is the bell and bore on this?

Re: For sale: B&S Goldbrass Baritone
Just in case you're seriously interested in buying it - and he doesn't check back here, right away...
(as I own a very old fancy Bohemian one - which I bought 'cause it was 'purdy and cheap...and I've never got it to be playable) I'm going to stick my neck out and guess
"smaller than an American bell-front baritone but larger than an English baritone" would be reasonably accurate.

Re: For sale: B&S Goldbrass Baritone
Too bad you are over there and I am over here, WAY over here. I am not a piston person and that would be perfect for what I do, and I could ditch the euph. I don't do much but would do it so much better with rotors.

Re: For sale: B&S Goldbrass Baritone
Not to speak for the seller or make any assumptions, but my recent experience has shown that shipping from Germany to the USA is surprisingly cheap.

Re: For sale: B&S Goldbrass Baritone
120 euros is VERY cheap -- it would cost US probably $300 just within the USA. My currency converter today says 120 Euros is equal to about $130 USD. (That seems suspiciously way too similar though.)
A trip to Berlin would be delightful if my situation allowed it. And Hamburg, and Köln, and --- etc.
But I'd still have to ship it here anyway!

Re: For sale: B&S Goldbrass Baritone
Somebody should buy this so I stop being tempted. And I should buy a trombone first, anyway.
For anyone in the U.S. interested in this, TheBerlinerTuba makes the shipping very convenient.
