Getzen G50 - Sydney, Australia - Price Drop
Posted: Mon Nov 12, 2012 7:13 pm
Hi Tubenetteers,
I'm selling my Getzen G50. I am the original owner, bought it in Dave Fedderly's basement in 1996 (I think) back before Baltimore Brass had a storefront. The tuba is in overall good condition with few dents, some plating wear and some solder marks (which is my fault - I used poor equipment when I removed the fifth valve as an experiment). Valves are in excellent condition. The short extension to the fifth valve is long gone, I never used it, preferring the longer slide. Also included is the original Dolly Bag and a (significantly modified and structurally sounder but uglier) hard case.
Modifications:
- ported first valve
- Dillon Adjustable Gap Receiver
- Lower first slide has a trumpet slide stop attached and the thumb ring was moved out slightly (my big ol' hand always pulled the slide out while I was playing and the thumb set-up was too tight for me).
Horn is located in Sydney, NSW. Looking for $6000 ono.
Pics of the tuba and a great reflection that makes my feet look even bigger:

Thanks for looking, Ed
