I found an old York 3-valve euph/baritone ? at a local music store. It is in remarkably good condition considering its age. Most of the silver plate is intact, and although there have been dents and creases, they are worked out. The tuning slide appears to have been modified by adding some tubing (to change the shape from a U to a folded U) and also another inch and a half bit has been added to the receiver, which is for small shank mouthpieces. That's why I think it was brass band pitch originally. I didn't buy it (for $195) because the valves needed re-plating (leaked badly, and had been done at least once in the past) and that was too much for me to pay for a wall hanger. It was very small, among the smaller Bb instruments of this type I've seen.
