B&S JBL Classic 3100WG F Tuba

Post by wesdecaseremusic »

Listing my B&S JBL Classic 3100WG F Tuba, which I have owned for a little over a year. This F tuba has a lovely warm and versatile tone color and a classic German rotary sound. My reason for selling is due to personal ergonomic issues. I'm 6ft 3, and this tuba is just a little too small for me, causing wrist pain.

Due to a few modifications by Alan Baer, the horn is more open than other B&S F tubas I have played. The stock layout of the bracing on this tuba also helps with ease of vibration and lively response.
The mods are:
New receiver
Valves 1-4 vented
Tuning slide adjusted to accommodate 440Hz

I am the second owner of this tuba and purchased it in 2023 from a tubist in New Jersey, who purchased the horn new. The purchase of this horn would also come with a blue B&S top-loading gig bag. The horn is located in central New Jersey, but I am willing to drive up and down the Eastern Seaboard for several hours to meet interested buyers. I also pass through Ohio and Michigan frequently.

Happy to set up a playtest with anyone interested!
