They're really coming out of the woodwork now ;-)

Here's another helicon for sale at eBay.  This one is an old Buescher that
has been refinished in black...  Opening bid is $1K...
http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=55997914

The same person is also selling a more conventional King Eb sousaphone,
http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=55993401, opening
bid $200.

Not to be outdone, there is a listing on BrookMays for an 1830 C keyed
bugle, at http://brookmays.com/classifieds/KeyedBugle1830s.html.  Asking
price is $3500...
 

Enjoy!

Grant

Hi all. I have a Bb rotary valve trumpet made by Roth. Anyone venture to guess what it
might be worth ? I estimate that's its late 19th century. The body is bare brass and there
is pearl inlay on the finger buttons and on top of the valves too.  It has a period
mouthpiece, but no case. The valve linkage is mechanical, not strung.

Thanks

Frank Diaz

Everyone--

I am in need of a Bass Saxophone near the St. Louis area to rent.  I will
need it as soon as possible and until May 1.  Please e-mail me with any
help.  If you do not own one, but know where I can find one, please mail
me.  I need this for a school musical which will be put on late April.

Thank you in advance,
