Could you post a link to the specific model you are interested in? I have never heard of Edwards making anything except trombones and trumpets.

You seem to have developed reading skills that far exceed my own. I was unable to decipher the original message.

Clone it is, $500 for it is an ok price. I would contact your future college prof to make sure he's ok with clones. I would also make sure that it plays well and that it's plays in BBb, not B natural or A natural.

Unsolicited advice, you seem to be looking for a tuba for college and several of your previous posts indicate that. If I were looking for a tuba, I would strongly consider a used Miraphone 186. They are usually fairly reasonably priced, well regarded and will most likely keep it's value or appreciate with time.

Noah Gladstone's Brass Ark has a 4 valve CC 186 for $2400.

(you'll have to check the tubas box before you can see it)

3 valve. Maybe for Tuba Christmas but NOT for college.
Get the 186 for that.

Tetherball and T-Ball players would probably balk at it, I say let's take it out in the desert and BLOW THE BAD BOY UP!!!!!!!!!!
