Re: "Majestic"
Perhaps they should have renamed this model "Bulbous," or even "Ponderous."
I think it might be an Eb tuba/saxhorn thing, but I am not 600+ dollars curious!

Re: "Majestic"
Poking around amongst pictures, I didn't find anything real illuminating. Klaus had one of a little Bohland & Fuchs "Majestic" baritone, looks nothing like this. Horn-u-copia has a variety of items, no obvious connection. The interesting one was an EEb contrabass helicon - below BBb - for players with strong backs only.

Re: "Majestic"
This looks like the source material for AI generated tuba imagery.
It would be a cool wall hanger, or rafter hanger, if you are into the Cracker Barrel aesthetic.

I showed this to my wife.

Re: "Majestic"
Obscene?
I'm so confused.
Some old Yorks, Martins, and perhaps a King rotary valved CC

I can't answer for her, but we both agreed it was an odd looking instrument.

Re: "Majestic"
It isn't obscene, it's ... well ... this is a euphonium that's "all horn."
I'm more struck by the finish, superficially looks like a weirdly dull matte silver, flakes off in patches like nickel, or lacquer.
Wild price, €736.77 for a dented, flaking 3V baritone with the third valve broken in some way. Maybe it's for an erotic wall hanger, can't put a price on that.

Re: "Majestic"
In some circles anyone talking about their "instrument" would immediately be labeled as obscene.
Especially organists.
That said, i am sure intrigued. I don't think i've seen another Eb with the valves level with the top bow.
And thanks! Reverb listing is cheaper than ebay listing, as is the shipping.
