Eastman Eb SOLD!

Post by cdavidrom »

Hello!

FS: Silver Eastman Eb
4/4 size
.689" bore
17" silver, upright bell
4 front-action pistons
Silver finish
Deluxe case w/wheels

Comes with Hard case and mute

Asking: $4,000

Goes for $8,240 new.

This is a fantastic example of the Eastman 4 valve front action compensating Eb tuba!
It is silver and in nearly mint condition. I keep my tubas very clean.
I had the third valve slide cut so it now plays VERY in tune. Normal tuba tendencies.

I am selling because I just can't get comfy on Eb. I played F tubas for 30 years. Thought I would give Eb a go when I moved to Columbus OH since the brass band scene here is good. I just can't get my fingers to feel at home. If this tuba were in F you would have to pry it out of my cold dead hands! It has a FAT low register and an easy upper register. The valves are vented and the slur is easy and even.

extra info.
When I bought this tuba, I was able to play it side by side with a Besson 983 for 3 days. Both myself and the owner of the besson played duets for quite a few hours, trading tubas and there really was no discernible difference. This horn plays GREAT, but I need an f tuba.
