I played this tuba. It is fantastic. Anyone wanting top level professional tuba should buy this. You are getting a new tuba for a deep discount. I can't justify this purchase at my level of playing but it is a great deal for a pro or aspiring pro.

We have a very different definition of what a deep discount is. 8k is still a lot of money. Also, it seems kinda suspicious to me that your first post is just an ad for an ebay posting by a well-known seller.

I interpreted this as, this new poster tried the the tuba that is for sale by the Eskimo. Not that the poster IS the seller.
And if it's in like-new condition, it would be a good deal. New, these are almost $14k.

A good friend from college owned one of these and used it throughout undergrad. Excellent player, and this was his "only horn."

I play a Yamaha so I tried this Yamaha because I could. I live in the locale and thought the playing insight might be of value. I have bought instruments from the seller too. And I play in the same (Kirkland Civic Orchestra) orchestra as the seller. It's a great horn and it will make someone very happy. One man's opinion.

Quinn doesn't sell junk... But he also knows what it's worth. Fair prices, but don't expect any "deals."

I also tried this ax. Not my cup of tea, but an excellent tuba for way less than you can usually nab one. I'm more a Germanic-sounding dude, and this is much more American in tone. Great horn, though.
And yes, I know the dude, and I own several Yamahas. They are wildly underrated.
(Someone should buy his YEB-632 NEO... It's extraordinary and I need to feed my kids... and ... I need this one... Put me out of my misery.... )
