FS: Yamaha 821 “Bobo” Model F tuba

[DylanTuba]

Hello everyone,

Today I’m selling my Yamaha 821 “Bobo” F tuba. I bought this horn back in early 2019, and it has served me well since. I’ve used it with many orchestras, brass quintets, solo performances, etc. It really is a do it all horn. Similar to the 621 in playability but with the bigger bell and different wrap it gets a warmer and more resonant sound in all registers. It probably has one of the best low registers on any F tuba I’ve ever played. These horns are super versatile and the ease of playability for an F tuba is hard to match. I have had a few modifications made aswell, Pollard water key on the 3rd valve slide, Amado water key on the 5th valve slide, and all the valves are vented. There is a little bit of wear to the lacquer and a few small dings as shown in the photos, but nothing affecting playability. It does also come with the custom Yamaha gig bag that was made for the horn.

The price is $9750


Horn is currently located in Boulder, Colorado. Feel free to message me or email me at dsilverstein11@gmail.com with any questions or offers. I would prefer not to ship but would be willing to drive a decent bit for a potential buyer.
