Sold! Wessex "Mighty Midget" BBb Tuba- Silver finish

Post by batgirl3000 »

Selling my "Mighty Midget" silver tuba after several years of not touching it. Just had her serviced (chem-cleaned and spiffed up by the professionals) and she is ready for her new home! Originally bought when I went on a tour in the UK in 2014 and really hasn't been played since. The backpack straps in the gig bag broke, so she took a little tumble but was professionally restored in Dublin, Ireland. There is a faint scar across her bell but she is in great playing condition!

If you're not familiar with the horn, it's really nice to have when your tuba feels more like a monster. She fits in an overhead bin on the bigger airplanes. It's a good practice horn and if you mic her, she sounds like a much bigger girl!

Here's a vid of me playing her in Wales (https://tinyurl.com/mr2mxsyx, start around 14:00) and you can read more about the specs on the Wessex website, https://tinyurl.com/mwff3f6j.

Pictures are posted here- https://tinyurl.com/2s46wb5d. I tried to point out the scar on the bell in #5.

Comes with 2 cases- hard case and gig bag (backpack straps on gig bag are toast but they weren't sewn well to begin with). Retails for $3,160+ $99 shipping. Selling for $2100 obo! Prefer cash and would love not to ship her! I am happy to meet you halfway, within reason. If you're not sure what's reasonable, ask! Happy to talk more on the phone too! Right now, she is located in Charlotte, NC.
