Expertise
Please note: My area is BRASS instruments, not other wind, string or percussion instruments. I will provide information on antique, obscure and out of production BRASS instruments. 1) Please don't ask for evaluations, I'll not provide them on this site. 2) I am often asked very similar questions, so I'd invite you to first check on Horn-u-Copia.net. Much of the information I have garnered about this topic, I have posted on this WEB site.
Experience in the area
I perform in several historical bands, have informally researched the area, repair brass instruments, and operate a Forum dedicated to the topic at http://horn-u-copia.net
Education/Credentials
B.S. Ed, M.S.

Except for the main tuning slide, the other parts would probably be around $20. The main tuning slide is most likely going to need to be custom constructed. There are too many variables possibly involved
2012-05-15 valve cluster:
Well, that's an interesting question - at least after you get past the point of . . . if you don't have the rest of the horn, what are you going to do with it. If I were going to try to sort that

Losing the small bell is a surprisingly common occurrence with double bell euphoniums. I think it probably speaks to the impracticality of the smaller bell. Players decide carrying around the extra weight
