John Packer
 

John Packer has some brilliant deals on a trio of stunning used top level euphoniums.

Besson

First up is a highly sought after Besson 967 Sovereign 4 valve euph in bright silver plate. It's in excellent condition and its yours for just £2,500.

Yamaha

But what about Yamaha’s older pro level euph ‘The Maestro’ in a lacquer finish. There is some lacquer wear due to age, but otherwise its in very good shape, and for just £1,850, its brilliant deal.

Top model

Then there is Yamaha’s top model, the ‘Custom’ — resplendent in silver plate with gold slides and in really super condition for just £2,900. Wow!
