1914 Holton Eb Raincatcher 4 Valve - SOLD!!

Post by MN_TimTuba »

Selling for a good friend. He's had this about 2 years, it's in good condition but missing a couple of parts and needs some soldering, as well as a good silver polish job. I haven't beheld this one in person, but according to the owner it needs bell screws, probably a mouthpiece bit or two, some soldering where you see the red duct tape, and the neck "fits" but isn't original. All valves move well, all slides move well. Honestly, you could get by playing it as is for a while if needed.
Just like with his Martin Eb, if you are interested please PM your preferred contact info to me and I'll have him contact you. Horn is located just outside Brainerd, MN. Just $500 and it's yours to play with!

WOW!

I'm about 60 miles north of Brainerd right now... Oh I wish I had room in the car for this and the Martin! If not for myself, then ro help distribute these to the rest of y'all.

I keep thinking it would be a riot to show up at the April Tuba workshop with this on one's shoulder!

That's great! Mostly because now I don't have to keep thinking of ways to make this purchase work...

Looks like a really cool horn for a good deal!
