A similar one appeared some time ago for an equally astronomical price, here:

I'm generally not into top action tubas. But this one (being an Alex BBb) appeals to me for some reason. The pistons are probably made by B&M, but everything else looks Alex to me. Seems like a full 4/4 tuba to me. Dunno how accurate the given specs are, but they say: [Valve]Bore = 21 mm (.826"), Bell diameter = 41.8 cm (16.54"), Height = 106 cm (41.7"). The price is down to a $2,990 BIN. It was much higher. Still a little pricey for a 3v used BBb, even though I'm sure it's a nice tuba. But at least the seller offers free shipping. If I had extra money floating around...

Best looking 3v upright I've ever seen!

Description says made of unlacquered yellow brass, but tuba appears to have lots of lacquer on it. Oh well, at least it has been "cleaned and tuned".
