I have the chance of purchasing a 4 valve Holton EEflat sousaphone (that's all the info I know!), and these things don't come up for sale around here very often.
I'm having it couriered to me for a trial before I buy it, but prior to that I'm hoping people can offer some advice.
Does onyone know the playing characteristics (tone/intonation etc) and value of these horns? The vendor says "works well but needs a loving owner" and I'm looking to offer between $1,000 and $1,600 US, depending on the condition.
Thanks to all in advance,
Ian Easton
