SOLD
Begrudgingly selling my Alex 164BBb. I'm told this horn likely dates to the 1970's. Tuba is in great shape, with only a few bumps and bruises as one would expect on a tuba that's at or nearing 50 years old. Silver plate is more than 95% intact.
This is a great playing instrument with a massive sound. Intonation is better than the reputation for these tubas would make you expect. I use 1&2 & 2&3 for D/Db in the middle of the bass clef staff, but no other notes require any alternate fingerings or embouchure gymnastics.
This is a large instrument, both physically and sonically - see photos for size comparison to my Alexander 163CC.
Tuba is located near Tampa, FL. I prefer not to ship, but would be willing to discuss options with a buyer if necessary.
Price is $6,000, and will include a Reunion Blues Cordura gig bag, which is used but still perfectly functional.
