This tuba plays very well. I have used it professionally as my main tuba for seven years and love it.

• Excellent condition Miraphone gig bag
• No hard case
• No shipping

I love this tuba and am only selling it to pay off the loan I got for my YamaYork. This is an excellent professionally-used musical instrument so I am unwilling to risk shipping it. If you wish to schedule a playtest let me know. You will have to drive to me.

Nice tuba. Would you accept $5000 cash? And can you ship it if I pay for it?

I'm sorry, but my price is firm.

Also: I will not ship tubas to or from Mississippi. Call it experienced caution, if you need an explanation. Sorry. I am willing to meet you halfway, up to three hours (or so) from my home, the remainder of "halfway" being your responsibility.

Thanks for your interest.

Nice. Do you live near Ivan Giddings? Is the tuba still for sale?

I know Ivan now lives down here somwhere, but I don't know what town. I think hs it in the northern part of the state. I live Central Mississippi.

The tuba is still available.

Absolutely a classic shiznit baby for the cost of new Chinese…

I'll drive to meet halfway, up to around three hours from my house. You are responsible for the mileage difference. Bring a chair so you can sit down to test it. Bring cash; if you play it you will buy it.
