Actually, you sold it to me earlier
last year - August 2010. It's sitting around here too, collecting dust. I put over $200 into it (cleaning/polishing, valve alignment, couple braces/flanges soldered, etc) after I bought it from you. Very neat historical horn with a warm sweet sound. Surprisingly lightweight for what it is. But after playing it a while "getting used to it", I found the intonation really wacked out - moreso than any other old horn I have played
Response is kinda stuffy too, and I am used to old Eb tubas.
Fun historical horn for Tuba Christmas, conversation piece or a museum.
I may try and sell it in 2012 if in the mood.
So I figured someone on here might want to give this beautiful horn a nice home!
