Found! WTB: 4 Valve BBb or Eb tuba @ ~$1500

Post by lowtones425 »

Hi folks,

I have a friend who's not on Tubenet looking for a 4 banger, BBb or Eb, with a budget around $1500.00 (maybe some flexibility depending on the horn).

Ideal specs (mostly for a BBb horn):

-3/4 or small 4/4
-Piston Valves
-Front action
-American/Japanese made

So, perhaps something in the vein of a Bach Mercedes/Olds 099, or a YEB381 in the case of an Eb.

We're both located in Boston, MA.

Thanks in advance!

Yep, I'm well aware of that.

An O-99 type horn is the goal (for BBb) but just seeing what else might be lurking out there.
