most-often dumped and least-often dumped models of tubas...

Several years ago, a lot of folks were buying the Meinl Weston 45P. I wonder how many of those folks still have one.

At any given time, it seems like there are a few of MW Baer horns for sale... Which seems like a lot, for how few exist. For more common horns, both PT6 varieties are revolving doors. You can always find a 186, but I wouldn't consider that a "dumped" situation.

Least often is hard to say... Because some models just have very few examples out there. But for tubas I wouldn't call uncommon, it seems like very few Thors come up for sale, and relatively few B&S CC/BBb tubas (apart from the PT6).

How often do you come by a Conn 40K or one of the Conn Jumbos?

People rarely part with any model Hirsbrunner. Seems like PT F tubas are always for sale, maybe because their very common.

Most: PT-6 and Miraphone 1291.

Least: It would be easy to rattle off all kinds of obscure makes and models, but I'll stick to a widely available mainstream model here: Miraphone 188.

The 45-SLP F tuba? Still have mine. Bought it used from a pro orchestra player back in 2004. Mine is a keeper. It was indeed the "must have" tuba for a while and many were bought and, well...many were sold (dumped?) as players moved on to other F tubas. Oh well. My feelings aren't hurt.

Nothing causes a dump of a model faster than one person offering to sell one. I'm not sure I've ever seen a used MW 3450 for sale before last week. One went on the market, and almost immediately another one did. You can go a year without seeing a 2145 for sale, but if one pops up, two more will in fairly short order, as has recently happened. A couple of months ago it was Willsons. Not a tuba, but last year one set of MAW valves went on the market, and within a week there were two more.

I seldom see used Piggies, especially "vintage" like mine.

Just off the top of my head--
Most often scene...used Willson 3050 F.S.

Least often scene...used 6/4 Nirschl & early '60's CC Mirafones F.S.

I think those various named B&S stenciled tubas are seen a lot

Kalison DS model

It seems like someone is always ready to unload one and it usually sits in the 'For Sale' section forever...

Seems like there's alot of Alexander 163 CC tubas for sale lately, and I don't think I've seen more than one Tuono for sale on here

It seems like the King 2341 and the Conn 14&20k's fall into both catagories.

Hmmm - I know of an EEEb that was "dumped" four times in the year that it found its current owner.

The Getzen G50 seems to get unloaded pretty often, too.

I don't "hate" those at all, would proudly offer one for sale, and they make a nice round sound...but (when the first came out years ago) the Gtzn rep. (who brought one into our brick-and-mortar store) was very surprised when I played it, handed it back to him, and raised my eyebrows.

And other than the fact that you just lost 10% of your hearing in your left ear, why did you raise your eyebrows?

I see a lot of Mirafone 186s out there (but maybe because there are a lot of them out there.

I had a similar experience to Joe, upon playing one of the earlier CB-50s.

I seem to see no shortage of Hirsbrunners for sale.

due to forums like this one, I think people are now more open minded about different instruments and different approaches to our myriad challenges.
