$8700
About twelve years old
Very good condition

It has Steven Mead Euphonium springs - a very nice match.

Miraphone gig bag.

I premiered the James Beckel concerto for tuba and wind ensemble, called "Through a Window" with this tuba last March, people really loved the sound. Also did the fastest Carnival I've ever done, with the Kokomo Parks Band - a professional wind ensemble, with this tuba last June. Great low register, strong sound, very facile tuba.

I had the pleasure of meeting Tony and playing this horn. It has a great sound and appearance. Petroushka has better mass and power to the low end than you think F tubas should have. The middle and upper registers are even and well tuned. You would get many great years of service from this instrument.
I also learned that I am pickier than I thought and wanted to stick with my own status quo.
