FS: Willson 3100 FA5 BBb tuba SOLD!

[TUbajohn20J]

Huge 5-valve BBb tubas are a specialty market, and it will take a unique buyer to really capitalize on this... but if someone has been thinking about buying one of these new (or similar), this is an exceptional deal on a nearly-new tuba.

Agreed! Most people are looking for CC's nowadays it seems like. Most of the younger players atleast who are starting their musical career. Since we are taught you must play a CC as your "main" horn to be a serious musician, most people wouldn't think about buying a professional BBb. But if you are, you won't find a better deal than this! Tell you what, I played this horn all through college on every solo you can think of, in every ensemble; wind ensemble to quintet to tuba/euph quartet.. and worked well for everything. These horns can do it all! Like one of my teachers told me, it doesn't matter what key the tuba is in, as long as it sounds good and gets the job done, nobody will care.

Bump!! Is somebody going to buy this!? Surely there's somebody in the market for a nice BBb!

Posted to Craigslist.

For something so high-end, expensive, and specialized, you might want to consider consignment at a store like Baltimore Brass or Dillon Music. They get access to a different set of buyers, with different needs and different budgets than here on TubeNet.

That's a good idea. You may have a point there! I never thought of that

Still for sale. $9000 or best offer!

Well the beast is SOLD!! It's going to be put to great use in a British style brass band by its new owner. The section will have TWO Willson BBb's now.

I look forward to hearing it next week.
