Yes, the seller is the tuba instructor at BYU.harold wrote:That would be my bet. I have heard that this specific horn had a bad valve job. Don't know if that is true or not. I haven't spoken to the owner. Isn't he the tuba instructor at BYU?Lew wrote:I am surprised that there aren't more bids on this. Is it because it's a 4/4 not a 6/4, and a BBb?

A darn shame, too. I think this is a large component of that "American tuba sound": big icing-on-the-cake aura that only the wide, flat bells produce.bloke wrote:Have you ever noticed how when European makers try to copy old American tubas, they never can quite 'believe' how 'flattened out' the bell flare angles are on the originals?

Looks like Grand Rapids on the bell.
I'll bet an hour with som polish could tripple the selling price...
Even missing a valve.
