For Sale: 1931 King BBb Tuba
This is a three piston front-action BBb tuba in bright silver finish. The bell diameter is 22". This horn is in exceptional condition. There are no major dents and only a few very minor dings. The valves are copper-plated and in good condition. Harvey Hartman (Harv's Happy Horns) completely disassembled and rebuilt this instrument some years ago. He adjusted the tuning slide lengths to put the horn in tune with itself. He raised the lead pipe off the bell to improve clarity of tone. He cleaned and flushed all valves and tubing, aligned the valves, installed nylon valve guides, replaced the water key cork, and converted the horn to Hetman synthetic valve oil and slide grease. This tuba is easy-blowing, has a lovely silky sound, slightly "dark", with excellent presence. The horn has had very little use since the overhaul. There is no case.
