Vintage Eb Buescher Tuba Silver Plate for Sale

Post by pianolance »

I have a truly great condition 3 valve Eb Buescher tuba made in the 20's. It's silver plating is tarnished but at least 90% intact. The siiver is a satin finish except for the place the logo is engraved and the trim pieces which are bright silver. Inside the bell is yellow brass. When this horn is cleaned up, it's a stunner. The horn is almost completely dent free, what little dings are on it are VERY minor. The only problem with this horn is the valve slides are stuck and the valves are noisy. They work well, but need new felts to quiet them down. I'm sure the slides can be unstuck but I don't want to try without the right equipment.

This is a solid little horn. No case but in remarkable condition for its age. It's free blowing, comes with a Hellburg style mouthpiece, and has a nice, bright, solid tone. I'm asking $1,000. This is a well made, American horn that will last any player a lifetime.

I love it when there are FS and WTB listings for the same thing right next to each other.
