Re: What about a De Prins Brothers tuba?
If it plays in tune, it's probably not too bad for that price. Walter Sear used to import these things years ago. I think that Sam Green used one for years. I'd avoid any that are detachable-bell models, though. When you're play-testing, check how the low B (24) and F# 23 for tuning--there could be some real stinkers.medictuba wrote:What about a De Prins Brothers tuba? A friend of mine has one for sale. It is silver plated and 4 front action piston valves. He wants $1500 for it. Is this a deal or junk?
