Tuba Donation

Post by RSorenson »

Hello All,

I was at a middle school today and they had a 3v Conn Eb Tuba (serial # 702658) donated to their school. It has Elkhart-Ind. Stamped on the bell. I don't think they will have much use for it, but might be looking to sell it. Anyone have an idea what might be a reasonable price?

It is missing the finger button for the 3rd valve and is not in the greatest condition.

Thanks for the help!

It would seem that a 3v Conn BBb tuba is just the ticket for a middle school band. Missing a valve button is a very minor problem. Is the band both overrun with tubas and people to play them?
