I'm looking to make the switch back to BBb per the recommendation of my teacher. Looking for a 4v kaiser BBb. Preferably handmade. If you have a fasolt, fafner, MW197, or Alex 164 you need to get off your hands, I'm the man. PM me or email me at ojvolz AT gmail DOT com

See if BBC still has that used Fafner for sale -- it's been on their site forever, although I know they are having Website issues and maybe it's not there anymore.

Lars Trawen's Melton 200 looks like an excellent option.

Wessex will have the new TB690H Kaiser Tuba on display for the first time in the Western Hemisphere at the Midwest Band & Orchestra Clinic in Chicago this month. This 45”/114 cm tall BBb hand-hammered horn will sell for approximately $9000 USD.
