It depends on the model number. Could you post more information about the particular tuba you are discussing?

If this is one of the 3+1 compensating Eb tubas, with the 19 inch bell, then I think $3400 US would be a good price -- especially if it is in "new" condition.


Thanks,

Are you sure you don't mean "Boosey and Hawkes"? That'd be Besson as it used to be marketed in the UK.

Nimrod's English is a lot better than my Hebrew!

Whatever--

If it's a 3+1 compensating Boosey Imperial, $3400 is a decent price for one. Even better if it's got the big (19") bell (I don't recall when they began being produced that way).

Dan, repeat after me:

"Muh-neesh-tah-nah Hah-lye-lah Hah-zeh?"

There you go. Now you're all set for Pesach (Passover).

Let me know if you need any further help!

Best Regards,
