Re: EEE-flat on ebay
You make it sound like such a bad thing! Good for him to make some money off of it (though we don't know how much he has in it anyway). All along, it seemed impractical, not-so-nimble, and admittedly, not what he originally thought it was. I think he'll heavily rely on the "or best offer" part of that listing though!58mark wrote:I think we all went so nuts about what a cool and rare horn it was, he decided to see if he could make a nice flip profit on it.
can't say I blame him, I'm interested to see what it goes for.
I'd guess one of the tuba "collectors" (whatever that's all about) will buy it and it will once again end up sitting in a room somewhere, unplayed. Maybe that's for the best?

Re: EEE-flat on ebay
Bort ya busted me correctly on all counts. Even before I discovered what key it was in I knew that it had to be a fairly rare bird, was thinking at least as uncommon as the J. Löw tuba I acquired from Dan last year. I like unusual stuff but it is decidedly not the ultimate Blues/Dixieland horn so I am entertaining the possibility of moving on to slightly more practical odd hardware.bort wrote:You make it sound like such a bad thing!

IMO it belongs in a proper collection but the only way I could think of to establish a realistic value was to put it up in front of the world and let the "Best Offer" option inform us.
If it doesn't bring what I think it should I'm perfectly happy to gawk at it, honk on it and generally be entertained by those fat branches and other oddities.

Given who started this thread I was wondering what kind of a monster BBb could be made from the huge bugle (not that I would actually do that).

While it would take a pretty special sousa to pique my interest (do you have an original helicon?), if you are interested I could meet you in Too-lee-doo for you to test it.KiltieTuba wrote:If I had any idea how it played, I attempt to trade a sousaphone for it.

If you want to simulate it, just take a BBb and hold the 4th valve down...KiltieTuba wrote:If I had any idea how it played, I attempt to trade a sousaphone for it.
Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?
