Besson 2 20 Serial Numbers
I just picked up a used Besson euphonium and was hoping there's someone on this forum knowledgeable in this area who can tell me what I have and if it's worth getting fixed up/restored. I was hoping to replace my old baritone with this.SN: 481XXX

BESSON

Made in England
3+1 valves
I gave it a warm bath last night and let it soak overnight.it appears to not have been cleaned for at least 30 years. The buildup of gunk in the lead pipe is horrific. There's a mouthpiece adapter frozen in the receiver, the valve caps and bottoms are frozen and about half the tuning slides are stuck as well. I did manage to remove valves 2, 3 and 4, the corrosion on valve #2 worries me.I can't get the cap off of the first valve to remove it. It's not even seated properly, as the cap is about 1 thread higher.
The funny thing is, I purchased this horn off of Craigslist from an retired guy who claims to have played this instrument professionally for 30 years. I can't imagine any professional allowing his working horn to get into this kind of disgusting condition. Personally, I think he found it at a garage sale/estate sale and was just feeding me a bunch of BS about playing it professionally. I wouldn't have purchased it if I knew it was in this kind of shape.
Am I correct in assuming this is going to need a valve job? valve #2 and 4 where extremely difficult to remove from the valve casing.
I paid $560.
