Very Good: This instrument or product has been carefully played/used and shows few, minor signs of use. In most respects it looks and performs like new and may be considered equivalent to display units found in retail stores.

This instrument or product is in good working condition but has one or more cosmetic flaws beyond those of a Condition 2 product. These flaws are typical of an instrument or product that's seen normal wear and tear, including incidental scratches, chips, dings, dents or other imperfections. It performs just as well as a Condition 1 or Condition 2 instrument/product. Its packaging may not meet the standards set by the factory and it no longer carries the manufacturer's warranty. Condition 3 is a great choice if you're looking for performance and value and not as concerned with cosmetics. You can buy with confidence knowing our 60-Day Satisfaction Guarantee on instruments and 30 days on accessories applies to this used product.
This instrument or product is not in working condition and needs repair, but can be brought back to full functionality with replacement of parts or some skilled repair work.

King 2280 Series EuphoniumThe King 2280 soloist model EuphoniumThe King 2280 soloist model euphonium has established a new standard for tonal excellence and evenness of scale-the chief attributes of any serious euphonium. This model's duo-bore design (.580"/14.73mm in the first three valves and .600"/15.24mm in the fourth valve) and 11"/279mm seamless heavy yellow brass bell give it a uniquely lyrical sweetness in the upper register and a majestic resonance in the lower.

I've play tested two of these horns, the now discontinued Conn 19I (exact twin) and a silver plated 2280. On the plus side: 1)the horn has nice sound, 2)is good for taller players, 3) has large shank mouthpiece receiver 4)has water keys on the 1st and 3rd valve tubing (hard to find in a non- autocompensated horn) and 5)has excellent valve action. On the minus side: 1)the spring slide tuner that Mr. Rowe mentioned is on the 3rd valve (I would rather see it on the 4th valve tubing) and has no adjustable home position, the 4th valve tubing does however have upper and lower slides which could be helpful for intonation 2)the main water key is directly over the base of the horn, 3)horn will tip over if it is set down inverted.
I have personally played this instrument for two years after it was purchased for me by my school music program. The horn has an unusually rich and full sound. It has a sharply responsive attack when pushed and easily kept in tune on the 4th valve thanks to the spring slide tuner. Although it may not have the professional edge, this horn is highly recommended and was a pleasure to play.
Definitely prefer the valve action on the King (compared to the Yamaha's sometimes sticky valve action). The horn also plays more freely than the 321, especially in the upper range. Great tone & intonation like everyone else is saying. The only negative is the position of the spit valves over the bottom bend (empties out onto the horn). Not a really big deal - definitely happy with the horn.
It's as good as others have said. My only problem is they use plastic valve guides on a quality horn. They may need to be replaced eventually, or the valves will spin in place. Beautiful sounding horn in both high and low range.
I have owned a King 2280 for the last five years. In the last year I moved to a compensating euphonium; however, I will never get rid of my King. In fact, I continue to use my King on occasion. The King euphonium offers a very rich, big sound in all its registers, something many other euphoniums struggle to achieve. The player experiences a sense of openness in all its registers, making playing in the higher tessitura just as easy as playing low. Even though it is not a compensating system, this is a horn you can truly keep forever, it is suited for the advanced high school musician up through the studying college student and beyond.
