Does anyone have an opinion on this model? This eBay listing seems like a decent tuba for the asking price. There must be a caveat at this price. What is it with this tuba? There are other old tubas that are in demand even dented up and tarnished, so this one seems like a lemon model. What is it that makes this one less desirable, so that he starts his price at $1899? A 186 or 187 in this condition would typically start at double that price. Some Conns seem to be in demand, but apparently this one is not. Why?

This is a B&S made horn. These usually plays very nice

Looks like it's already sold, so someone out there thinks this horn is worth that price...

Considering the number and quality of the feedback on the buyer, I wouldn't be all that surprised if one of the "locals" here bought it to re-sell at the public school level. There are a few BD's that really understand the value of a well-built, consistent, and in-tune BBb for use with students.
