Marceau & Cie Paris 3 Valve Euphonium Ser#7 Will Play with Needs Water Key Cork

Description

Marceau & Cie Paris 3 Valve Euphonium Ser#7 Will Play with Needs Water Key Cork
Additional Info:
In looking at this instrument we thought that maybe 7 was the serial number however in a quick search we found that none of these Marceau instruments were given serial numbers and were all engraved with the number 7.  This is a very cool antique instrument!  It has a raw brash finish and it is very light weight. It is smaller than most euphoniums that you see now.  It needs a cork for the water key. We test played it by taping the water key  opening closed and the instrument played very well!
