This is a great all around F tuba. Very in tune and easy to play. A lot of typical F tuba quirks don't exist on this horn. The horn is a similar experience to a Yamaha 822, but leaner and with some Miraphone color. I'd love to keep it but my job provides me with a few great F tubas and I would like to pay off my car.

The horn is in like new condition. There are minimal dents, a few on the bottom bow and one of the bell. The lacquer is blurry on some parts of the bell where a crease must have been rolled out at some point.

Mods I've had done to the horn are:
• First slide lapped
• Slide stopper string kit installed on first slide
• Saturn water key installed
• Holding bar thing removed
• Piston vent holes enlarged

These mods allow for greater flexibility with intonation, better legato, and better response.

I'm willing to drive 4-5ish hours to avoid shipping the horn. Buyer will pay for shipping if we cannot meet in person.

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions. Please contact me at 678 670 4009 or kevflan123@gmail.com as I don't check TubeNet too often.

Thanks!
