Holton 4/4 BBb bugle / frankentuba project starter kit

Post by York-aholic »

Maybe this is the right time to say that I have a Holton 4/4 BBb bugle that looks to be the same as what Bloke started off with, minus bell (so bottom bow down to the dogleg), that I'd be happy to sell. You'd need a bell, but the Holton Monster Eb bells are the same as the BBb bell that was on this bugle. I might have a King smallest bow and dogleg available. Without the bell it would be viable to ship... $200 plus shipping ($250 if you'd like the two King parts as well). Silver-ish with some areas possibly painted. PM me if interested.

I know, I know, probably should be in the for sale section but I just thought about it while reading this thread and it is more on topic than 95% of my other posts.

:laugh:

SoCal. Pictures coming soon.

Just had a look. Bottom bow needs some work. Used to have bow guards on the bottom and top bow that are no longer there. $100 plus shipping.
