Martin 6/4 BF BBb-SOLD
It's been sold--thanks for your interest! Stay tuned for more offerings.
----------------------------------------------------
Time to clean out my living room again--it's getting too crowded and I need to make some room.
I'm kicking this off with a big 6/4 bell front Martin BBb from the 1950's. In very good condition, raw brass, 3 valves top-action. 26" bell, 0.720" bore. No significant dents anywhere. A very nice player. It has the short Martin leadpipe; I've replaced the old receiver with one that takes standard Conn tuning bits, a set of which I'll also throw in.
If you've ever sat behind the mouthpiece on one of these beasts, you know what kind of sound a Martin puts out.
I'll try to get some photos up fairly soon. I'm asking $1200+shipping for this magnificient beast.

The tuba is obviously invisible. Like the emperor's clothes.
That's my dream, a big tuba taking no space and easy to move.

Okay, evidently your ISP's up there way north of the Mason-Dixon line are a bit paranoid about images that are kept in folders named "ads". I've edited the web page and the post above.reitan wrote:Swedes aren't know as "a bright people" among us here in Norway, but I'll have to agree: Here in Norway too the tuba looks like the emperors new clothes; invisible...
...and even though there is a weak dollar, I will most definitely not accept lutefisk as barter...
