A very unique tuba in excellent condition, prefer to sell but would consider trade for 4/4 CC (5 valves preferred) such as Getzen/CB-50, Eastman 632/832, Miraphone 186 (older version) or similar. About the Marzan:
  • Large tuba w/dark, beefy sound (more fundamental than overtones)
  • Relatively dent-free, except for a few small dings on the bottom bow
  • Silver plating is abt 85% intact, except for bell exterior, which is raw brass (see pics)
  • Slant valves work smoothly but linkage needs to be updated (from plastic) to reduce noise
  • All slides move freely (MTS on top)
  • Euro mpc receiver (but will work w/American shank)
  • Comes w/2 bells: 20” upright and 22” recording
  • Includes new large SKB case (fits concert bell, recording bell will have to ship separately)
Please, serious offers only. I have quickly declined offers below $5K. This is a very unique, solid-playing tuba. Buyer will be responsible for S/H or for picking up tuba in the Dallas area. Pictures may be found here:
