Ebay says this Sonora is a "Czech" tuba

[Heavy_Metal]

it's actually a B&S 101. Decent fixer-upper if the price doesn't go too high..................

Local pickup only.

Yeah, and this B&S 101 'Sonora' needs a good $500 - $1000 worth of work done on it to make it good. That tuba is beat to $hit I would not pay more than $500 in it's current condition.

It even says "Made in German Democratic Republic"

This tuba came from the South Bronx... Actually doesn't look as bad as I might have expected. Needs a lot of work, yes, but it's not destroyed.

You mean sold and distributed from NYC right? But made in E. Germany...

One of the photos has a sticker on the tuba that says NYC Board of Ed, South Bronx HS (or something like that... I didn't load it again)

Either they have another one, or the original bidder didn't pay:

Dan buys these, so I'm sure he's watching.

True. But I'm not driving to the East Coast to pick it up!

So...

I typically avoid driving anywhere near NYC like the plague...

But i am pretty close, and am dreaming of a road trip in the near future, so while i am definitely not looking to complicate my life any more than it already is, seeing it safely to a fellow tubenetter is not impossible...

Well, if you were waiting for the price to drop..............
