eBay: Melton 3v rotary euph/ kaiser baritone (?)

Post by arpthark »

Not sure if this is big enough to meet the definition, but it's a straight-bell rotary valve Bb something or other.

Very much like a miraphone baritone I had. Bought it for $300 as a 4 valve instrument, took the 4th valve off for another project, and sold it for $300 as a 3 valve. Low register was terrible anyway

Awkward to hold up in the air while playing, which is why in this Pic I'm using a harness, it isnt because of the weight

One of my "what can I use as a euph" trials was with a four valve rotary bariton (no e) and it was just horribly out of tune with itself plus a very difficult low end. It left, buyer aware of my opnion of it -- and I suspect this one is similar given its age.
