I am a returning player have not played in years. I am looking for a good horn to get my lip back in shape. $1500 to $2500 range. I would like to buy in Florida or south Ga. I am now in a shipping Hassle with a tuba that I got from ebay. Came to me All banged up!
Welcome back

Welcome back to playing Edgar!
I am sorry to hear about your bad exeprience with the damaged horn but I hope things work through smoothly for you and that you will be enjoying playing again quickly.
I actually have a nice Yamaha YBB641 (

I am, however, very sure that you will be able to find a perfect match for yourself from the great guys here.
Best of Luck and Welcome back to the tuba!

Please take a look at the King 1241 that I've listed. No pictures yet. If you can find someone within striking distance from you who is attending the Army conference, they can possibly tote it back for you, avoiding the shipping.
