York C, Fafner, Rusk 6/4, Gronitz PF125
Posted: Thu Sep 08, 2005 10:04 am
These are fine instruments and deserve new homes and players.
*York is ON HOLD*
The first is the Factory York CC used to model the B&S GR41.

*Fafner is semi-on-hold: send inquiries still and I'll chase other parties*
Next is a Melton (Europe's name for Meinl Weston) 195 Fafner.
This is a FANTASTIC 5 valve Bb tuba.
Dependent 5th valve in 4th valve slide - all valves on Right Hand.
Valves 1 to 4 vented.
Leadpipe off the Bell.
Response, Pitch and Sound are all really 1st rate.
Melton Gig Bag.
Two Main Slides: stock and slightly shorter one (unused).
Immaculate condition.
Top to Bottom, this horn just plays.
Selected from Germany.
$6,500
(WWBW Price is $6,800 for a 4 valve with no case, Baltimore is $7,000)
Also available is a 1912 Holton Rusk-Cut 6/4 CC in Satin Silver.
Usual Rusk leadpipe 5th valve.
Bell and bows probably York-made. This is a light, responsive BAT.
22" Bell has a couple of small patches (which are plated; you don't notice them).
This horn resonates like crazy - the sound is incredible.
Bottom line G is lippable into tune but prefers to be played 1&3.
Other than that the intonation is spot-on.
Super Tuba in Orchestra.
If you're interested in a horn like this, we'll talk...
Nearly new Gronitz PF125 in Lacquer.
This is a brilliant F Tuba with a distictive, colourful sound (has Pokorny just got one??).
Great intonation - I don't pull ANY slides.
Talk to me if you're looking for one of these - this is a good one!
Why am I selling all these instruments!?
I need the money basically. I'm just getting a Bass Trombone and am trying playing my Besson Eb for everything for a time (yes, we Brits are peculiar...).
Thanks for looking.
