I am willing to bet that this is the same one that was up for grabs a month or so back. If so, than it looks very similar, but is not "fully" compensating like the Willson is. It has a couple of tuning slide rings and jiggers to manipulate the slides, but the fourth valve tubing does not go back through the first three like a compensating nstrument as we know it today does.
It looks like a good euphonium for those interested in a high quality front action horn. I think the price is a little high and besides I am waiting for some sort of windfall to buy the Willson with!
