Going rate for used 5/4 Rudy CC
Posted: Fri Oct 12, 2007 9:59 am
I am considering selling my baby, but have no idea what the going rate might be. I have a 5/4 CC Rudy that I purchased new from Custom Music during the summer of 1978.
I have had only a few modifications made while I owned it, which include venting the 1st and 3rd valves, installing new linkages, having some valve bearing work done to quiet the valves, and chemical cleaning. All work was done a few years ago by the good folks at the Brass Bow in Arlington Heights, IL.
This instrument plays GREAT. There has been some wear and tear through normal usage, such as worn laquer. I also removed some laquer from the bell and more came off as a result of the chemical cleaning. There is also a sizeable dent in the bottom bow which does not affect playability.
The instrument is in the Chicago area, and would come with a Reunion Blues bag, Laskey 30H and Cooley Helleburg mouthpieces, and a slew of music, including Vol. 1-9 of the Torchinsky books, 20th Century Orchestra Studies (Torchinsky), a new Arbans for Tuba, and other misc. etude books and such.
Feel free to post a message here or PM me if you are interested or can provide a reasonable estimate of the value for this tuba.
