Hi everyone. I am helping a friend sell a very nice/rare small Conn CC 4 Piston, 1 Rotary. This horn was previously owned and played regularly by Jim Self and before that was played with the Utah Symphony by the original owner.
It was purchased from Jim in the late 90s around 2000. The 5th valve was installed by Larry Minick, and let me just say, you'd never know the horn wasn't built with it (works great, with excellent intonation)! I've had a few opportunities to play the horn and find it fits very well with brass quintets, especially those that enjoy playing a small CC tuba in quintet. Very easy to play and great intonation in all registers. Owner is selling only because it is not getting played enough
Silver finish is still great and there are very few minor dings. It is located in the Cincinnati, OH area. Seller is asking $4,000, which includes a nice hard case and older gig bag. Please feel free to email or message me anytime with questions and/or offers, thanks!

Re: Silver Conn 3J CC w/ 5th Valve for sale
That is a Yamaha 822 with a modified, preproduction?, 5th valve. It used to be on the Yamaha posters.Michael Bush wrote:This looks like it is this tuba:
