Rudy F 6 Valves Price Reduced!

Now $5,000 or best offer.

After many long nights of tuba debate, I have decided to sell my 4/4 six valve Rudolf Meinl F tuba. I have been doing more and more studio work and have decided that a rotary F tuba doesnâ€™t complement my Yorkbrunner 6/4 CC. Iâ€™m going to be purchasing a piston F in the near future.

I bought this horn from Tommy Johnson in 1992. He was playing it in the studios along with his 188. When he got his Yamaha 822 F he stopped playing the Rudy and eventually sold it to me.

The horn is in fantastic condition. The 5th valve was converted by Robb Stewart from the left hand to a very comfortable right hand thumb position. Alan Baer worked on the valves around 1994 and they still are super fast. The horn has a beautiful tone and an untouchable high register. It plays very well in tune, except for the second space C that should be played with the fourth valve if held out. It centers solidly on every note and slurring is a dream on this horn. The only hang-up is around the low register C, which has the typical German F tuba stuffiness. I donâ€™t find it difficult, but I want to mention it anyways. Pedal notes on the horn are a breeze to play, even down to the F below the piano. You couldnâ€™t ask for a more musical F tuba, especially for orchestral playing.

It comes with a Reunion Blues gig bag, but no mouthpiece. I have to hang on to those.

Shipping will be $150.00 FedEx in the USA. This horn has been a big part of my musical life for many years, and I want to ship it right. It may also be picked up in the Los Angeles area.

I want to sell this horn. Make me an offer, if you dare.

There has been much interest in this horn, but nobody has been able to pay for it yet. Still up for grabs at 5k.

Yes, it was a shameless plug. <<< see the tubenet forum. The pics seem to be messed up. If you want to see more, send me an email.
