I know I'd rush to send that kind of money for something with no pictures to someone who joined less than a week ago. Could have at least taken the time to STEAL pictures...

Let's not be so judgemental.
Afterall, there's no way anyone would attempt to take advantage of tuba players.

Here's the reply I recieved to my question "What kind of tuba is it?"

Response from emperorj10
Item: Used tuba w/ case & mouth peice (7337792883)
This message was sent while the listing was active.
emperorj10 is the seller.



Its a three button, with them in the front.

Good luck to the winning bidder.

Buttons in the back is a real pain, but trying to "fill out" those "darts" in the chest area is dang-near impossible.

The thing to remember - you never stop paying when you get one of those mouth pieces.

But with the new border, how can they fail?!

(three days, and still no bids; guess there must be a glut of unnamed unkeyed dented tubas with mouth peices on the market)

Just got a response from him. Says it's a Holton with a 14" bell and is 31" tall. Given the 3 front valves, sounds like one of those Yamaha YBB-103 Holton stencils.

Asking too much IMOHO.
