I am putting out feelers to see if anyone may be interested in my 1991 HB2P 5 valve 4/4 CC. I have owned the horn since Spring 2016 and have honestly been in love with it every moment since I’ve had it. Response is wonderful, tuning is within normal expectations (flat 5th partial), and it has that characteristic Hirsbrunner color. The horn has served me well through the better part of 2 degrees and in a variety of situations; its large 4/4 size has lent itself well to supporting full orchestras and wind bands while not overwhelming brass quintets and other small ensembles.
I am (hesitantly) considering parting ways with this tuba simply because I have found myself preferring rotor instruments as of late.
I paid $10,000 for the horn in 2016 and will ask for as much now (accounting for inflation, that $10k would translate to about $12,100 today). I am willing to negotiate, but I would also highly consider trades (plus cash on your end) for the right rotor HB1/2 (4 or 5 valve) or Miraphone/Mirafone 186/188 CC. Instrument is located in Los Angeles, CA and I would ship at buyer’s expense.
