Thanks Tony & Jeroen for the measurements! I have emailed the seller to kindly ask if they would measure it so will see what they say.

Donald - they are wanting $1,000NZD incl shipping for it so that's why I was thinking it could be worth the gamble...only others I've seen pop up to date are a 1962 R13 with 3 barrels (one repaired) for around $3,000 & an E11 that's basically brand new & they want $2,200. Can an E11 actually be made into something decent with a better barrel, mouthpiece etc? I have read so many reviews saying just not to bother with them (personally never tried one though).

Yikes indeed for no rehearsal! I enjoy the variety of the scoring in the pit for that combo (Bb, Bass, Eb) - played Reed IV for Phantom of the Opera last year.
