5-valve BBb tuba in excellent condition. Recently chem cleaned, valves were aligned and all accessible dents removed. All that remains are a few incidental dents and scratches. Lacquer is approx 85% intact, missing only on top of tuning slides and back side of bottom bow (see picture #4). Very responsive horn w/fast valves and beefy tone. Includes Wessex gig bag. Will not ship, must pick up 30 min S of Dallas. Price is firm. Feel free to shoot me any questions.

You said I could shoot you any questions, so heres a few: Why are you getting rid of the horn?
Could I do a "try before you buy" sort of thing?
How much did you buy it for?
And whats the serial number?

Glad to answer any
relevant questions here. Otherwise, shoot me a PM, and we’ll go from there.
1. Looking for something smaller and lighter. I’m old.
2. You may try it before you buy it, here in Midlothian, TX
3 Sorry, not relevant
4. Also not relevant

Now for sale exclusively at Denton Big Brass. Go see Carl Kleinsteuber at DBB (make an appt first), play some Wessex tubas (or others on consignment), and then buy my Viverna.
You're welcome.
