Tuba in Cb???????

[Michael Bush]

..... IT would be a good deal for the raw parts in the valveset (cimbasso parts, etc...?), except for the fact that the #1 and #4 rotors have those 45 degree angle exit ports.

I emailed the seller. He apparently knows the horn is 'C flat' but doesn't have a clue about the bore size or the condition of the rotors. Go figure.

Bore size (assuming I've identified it correctly and that they're all the same) is .708 (18mm).

...... Bore size (assuming I've identified it correctly and that they're all the same) is .708 (18mm).

Against my better judgement... I received this horn today. After all... parts is parts!

Anyway... the bore measures around .705" and the bell is about 15". About the intonation... I don't have a clue where the knucklehead got the idea the horn was Cb! ... I think the seller needs to either check the 'A equals' settings or buy a new tuner because this horn is a solid CC tuba with the normal sharp 1st valve F. Except for some 'clattery' linkages from lack of lubrication and proper adjustment... this horn is a pretty good one and will make someone a very good '1st CC' tuba.
