The only problem is that for SOME of them there is a reason that they remained unused...

Un-ba-stink-in-lievable!
A student of mine at OSU came across a well-preserved 4v Alex barn find, and paid $1500 for a very nice tuba. Best wishes for a successful refurb!

Nope Bloke, unfortunately this belongs to another. This one had never been finished with plating or laquer. From what I've been told it is a gem...... But all the slides are stuck for now...
