Custom Compensating Conn Monster Eb

Post by daktx2 »

I've never seen anything like this before! It looks a bit like a Besson 983 valveset stuck on a Monster Eb body, Super cool!

These tubas are selling at the same moment in Brazil for a less price.

For the current USD $4000 Not $5500

Maybe the difference is the ship cost.

Or maybe the difference is that the Brazilian one is for real and the Vegas one is a scam. Anyway, the Brazilian ad is a lot more interesting, quite a bit of talk during the couple of years it has been up there. Someone in London wanted a shipping price, and I think was told ca. $2K.

The valves apparently come from a "Quasar" model Eb, looked that up and it's a sort of Brazilian Carl Fischer. No Eb models currently show up. Did Jinbao ever make a front 4 compensator? I guess it's remotely possible they stenciled a Besson. The seller is not the original owner - I think they're in São Paulo and he was in Curitiba.

I hate to resurrect old threads, but I found a video of this being played and thought it was super cool!
