Rudy 5v F
Well, first, I doubt that this is a "copy" of a B&S, or anything else. Rudy generally is not one to copy anything (at least not very well, nor for very long). This is a very typical Rudy-wrapped 5v tuba. The ones that I played in the Tuba House back when the earth was green blew very tight, with a beautiful sound. Darker than a standard PT model, probably not as dark as a red brass Alex. I would say that this is probably a good bit better than advertised. Not a student/intermediate horn by any means, but not a world-beater, either. Expect the normal issues with low C. If bidding stays where it is, I will swoop and scoop on Saturday. I don't expect that to happen.

Same story. Low register, in particular, can tend to be funky, but the longer you play, the better you will like it!Super Smooth wrote:The CC's have issues, but can be played in tune. Some are better than others!

You got it. Someone hit the buy it now for $3800. That is a tidy profit for a 10 day turnaround.

Should be fine as long as they don't ship it Greyhound, huh Matt?

Horrific. I'd imagine a fellow tubenetter would be able to tell the story a lot better than myself. I was only terrified, halfway across the country during the whole situation. Greyhound, made my life a living hell for over a month--- and probably wasn't too pleasant for this poster as well.MikeMason wrote:Of all the shipping complaint posts over the years, I don't remember a negative one about greyhound.What's the story?
Let's just say, he's an extremely patient, levelheaded person. My only advice, don't ship anything via Greyhound. Ever.

I am personally boycotting Greyhound. It's just a nightmare, they don't care at all. I've got the dents to prove it.
