Meinl Weston H-S F Tuba $5,495 (with fight case and Reunion Blues gig bag)
This tuba is handmade, and plays great. Five Valves, fifth valve is a long whole step. Great sound and response. The instrument is very clear and soloistic and can produce a classic German F Tuba sound.
It’s in nice condition, no major dents. The valves work great.
This instrument was originally purchased and used by Sam Pilafian, and subsequently by Andrew Hitz of the Boston Brass. It is about 15 years old. Andrew Hitz has put this instrument up for sale only because he never needs an F tuba for his playing with the Boston Brass.
Original price was over $10,000- just the dealer cost today on this special-order instrument exceeds $8,000. The wheeled anvil-style case was custom made by a company that normally manufactures cases for sensitive electronic and optical equipment, and is extremely well built.
Please email or call with any questions.
Although this is a fair price, if you would only be interested if it were lower, let me know. It would be nice to sell it sooner rather than later and I will consider any offer.
I’ll be happy to answer any questions you may have... also, the instrument is in New York City- if you would like to come by and check it out, just let me know. Thanks!
