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!

Cool horn and I like the hard case.

For sense of scale, how big is the bell and bore on this?

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.

The bell is 28cm/11inches
The bore of valves 1-3 are 14mm and the 4th is 15mm (0.55 to 0.59in)

And an almost Thanksgiving bump!

And an X-Mas Bump to the top!

And an Easter Bump

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.

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.

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!

And a post Halloween bump

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.
