1) Schiller AH 4 rotary valve BBb in nickel silver (Schillbrunner) w/ case. The tuba is in excellent cosmetic and playing condition. $1400 OBO w/free shipping via Greyhound

2)Schiller AH 3 +1 Compensating EEb tuba with case. The tuba is in excellent playing condition with only one small dent(< dime size) on the bell. $1400 plus shipping. *Sold*

3)Schiller 3 piston valve Marching BBb tuba in nickel silver with case. The tuba is in excellent cosmetic and playing condition. $600 plus shipping. (On Hold)

4)Wessex 4 valve EEb sousaphone with case. The sousaphone is decent cosmetic condition with only some minor dents on the back bow. However, the sousaphone is for parts only(all of the parts are present to include the neck and bits)....in other words, it doesn't play. Why?? who knows. I bought this sousaphone off of this forum and it never played. I don't have a local repair facility, so my loss is your gain. $500 plus shipping. *Sold*


Preferred payment methods are cash, cashiers check, or money order. I can also accept PayPal if the buyer is willing to cover the fee. I prefer to meet you,however I can ship. Shipping via Greyhound at buyers risk.

FWIW, regarding the sousaphone, all of the parts are there. We just never figured out the order of the valves. If they're stamped with the number, we can't see the numbers to put them in the right order. He bought the horn from a Tubenetter last year, Dan can verify if this is the original ad: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=72437&p=588575&hili ... ne#p588575" target="_blank" target="_blank

The problem with the sousaphone valves might be very easily fixed.
If they use the same valve guide as the other Ebb tubas from Wessex.
The white nylon guide is held in place by the valve stem and there are two possible holes in the top of the valve for the location nipple to rest in, the larger hole is the piston vent hole.
I assembled my valves incorrectly after giving the tuba bath and was stumped for awhile.
Cant carry a tune but I can carry a tuba.
