'Dumpy' is finished.

The baby SA euph weighs in an extra 2lbs heavier than anything else, and that 4th. valve is of tuba dimensions!

Also awaiting its turn after the Hawkes 5v, a Butler of Haymarket 4v Euphonium, missing a m/piece receiver, but a nice quality instrument. Engraved Tomdu Coronation Band 1902. (Defunct Welsh Band)
