I have placed my Willson Eb tuba for sale at Baltimore Brass Co. This is the Marty Erickson model. (3400 I think). In fact, it is Mr Erickson's tuba. I bought it from DEG at the Army Tuba Conference several years ago as they were giving him a new shiny one to show off. The mouthpipe has been raised about 3/4" to accommodate tall players, but I use a DEG stand and it works fine (I am just under 6' tall).

These are, in my opinion, the best all-round Eb tubas and I have used mine in situations from quintet to brass band to my 130-member community orchestra. Excellent reponse and excellent intonation. I am selling in order to finance another (non-tuba, sorry) instrument (Sobell bouzouki, handmade with Brazilian rosewood and maple binding, if you're curious). Please contact the excellent fellows at Baltimore Brass Co as they are handling the sale. Please post your questions here, and I'll answer them online. You will no doubt ask a question the answer to which someone else is no doubt curious of which to know, which. Blah.

I think if you read that last sentence backwards, it actually makes sense!

Since it's not yet posted on the BB website: Is it the compensating model? What is the listed price of this tuba?

Right.. price... I knew the tuba world would dredge up some minor esoteric detail that I overlooked!

I have listed the tuba at BBC for $6200.

It is the 4piston + 1 Rotax model, non-compensating front-action pistons.

Thanks

Bump for this. Baltimore Brass has not yet put it on their website, but it's still there.
