Say what you will; In its current condition it's intonation is at least much improved...
Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?

For that shipping, a buyer roughly in the southeast could drive to Orlando, stay over night, take your kid to a theme park (or do whatever you do in Orlando), stay over night again, pick up the tuba, and drive home and spend no more money.

Road trip! Heck, the case is worth something. I'll let y'all know how bad it really is if I get it.58mark wrote:Look at it this way. NOBODY is going to bid on that thing because of the price,(if they notice the shipping cost) but they offer local pickup. Somebody in florida will be able to get it for a good price

Re: Maybe this shouldn't have been a "student" tuba
Isn't this tuba a copy of the B&S 'Sonora'? That's a good tuba design, and I'd think if everything is 'fixed up' properly, this could be a good tuba
