Looks good. Whatever student did this doesn't deserve to have another school instrument.

Or to badly misquote Holst, "Jupiter, the banger of jolt-ity."

If that’s what you call “good enough” I wouldn’t pay $100 more for better than good enough either!!

nevermind.

It's four-valve, front-action, and in extraordinarily well-preserved condition...

...but it's not rotary, it's not European-made, and it's not in C. (It's American-made).

Snooze

Nice work on the Jupiter!

Does the new thing have the correct finger buttons?

Eh, Bort?

Are you sure that's not some new form of valve venting?

- one to repair it well (no Ferree's dent machine work...mostly: sit-in-my-comfortable-chair work)
- a higher price would have been to put it in the condition that I would put it in were it mine, or if I were offering it for sale

Of course, they chose the lower one, so I'm having to hurry, and judge "good enough", but here is only a PORTION of what is required to make this back into a tuba...

AFTER:

Did you have the bow guard for the horn somewhere before? Is that part new to the tuba?
