Is this for real? The picture seems to be one of a Besson 995 taken directly from the WWBW website (notice the botched Photoshop job at top).

Look a little further, though...
"The 995 Besson CC Tuba
A Walter Nirschl Design
A highly efficient instrument with a wide dynamic range and a powerful low register, this tuba provides maximum sound output with less effort than other makes of CC tuba."

Ebay listing wrote:Almost new Walter Nirschl 4/4 CC Tuba for sale. The horn is in perfect condition and looks new. This horn is silver plated and is one of the original made by Walter Nirschl himself.
This is misleading. It may have been designed by him but NOT made by him.

A few years ago there was a 4/4 Nirschl for sale in that part of the country on ebay that was purchased by a friend of mine. The seller prompty took his money and then moved, changed phone numbers, refused emails, etc. He also did not provide the flight case as was included in the auction. My friend eventually tracked him down through the authorities and with the help of the seller's parents, located him and took posession of the tuba, but was still out a flight case. A few months later another listing showed up with the exact same description and pictures under a different name with a less than perfect feedback rating.
Same sales pitch too...perfect condition, an original, not needed after college, includes a load of accessories, come and try it, etc...
Buyer Beware
