WTB Beginner F Tuba

Post by DylanTuba »

Looking for an F tuba for around 2000-3000.
Preferably would like to meet and play the horn, I'm in the Hudson Valley area of NY currently. Looking to learn F on this horn and then upgrade later on when need be.

There was a Mack just posted in the for sale section for $1500, located in TX. Not mine, but is definitely priced to get it moving. Good luck!

If you're a beginner on F and do well with pistons, I'd get a piston horn. Rotary F tubas can be frustrating for the uninitiated.

Forgot to mention, I already found a horn, BMB J445. However I do play on a PT-6 rotary and just wanted to go piston on F due to easier maintenance.
