It's badly damaged but if I had the money I would have sent work done and put a monster Eb bell on it.

Might be OK if you repaired it yourself for your own use or had a niece of nephew going though tech school who needed a senior project. Some decisions who have to be made: Fix the bell w/o garland or get an entire new bell.

If you are a retired repairman who enjoys working on things as a leisurely pace for enjoyment and at least a little money back, it might be a decent project.

Not one to take into a shop and say "Fix it" Probably spend more money fixing this one as getting another which is already in good shape.

Or fill it full of concrete and call it a mailbox post.

You won't have to bid too high to beat my ceiling price. This horn is going to need A LOT of work. Tell you what.... buy it and send it to me to fix.

Looks like someone threw it down the stairs...why do that to a horn?

This Sanders is a better option.

These Sanders 'Imperial' tubas were the house brand of Custom Music. They are good horns but were not made by B & S as it might appear.
