Nice old King 1241

Some have said that the 1241 of earlier times was made with a carefully matched bell and a lot of attention to assembly to make a resonant, responsive tuba. This instrument demonstrates this, in my opinion. It's the best old-style King I've ever played.

My wife's uncle bought David's 3301, so now he would like to sell this 1241. He bought it from Dave Fedderly several years ago, and it was THE deal in the store at the time. It's appearance still shows the age of the instrument, but it's a heck of a lot shinier than it was at Baltimore Brass.

Both upright and forward bells are included. No case.

$1600 plus shipping (shipping will require three boxes).

I will bring it to the Army Conference, and anyone who buys it there can take it with them and avoid shipping costs.

He's liking it a lot. He took it to rehearsal yesterday and played it for about two hours, drawing favorable comments from his buddies. But he's glad he doesn't have to carry that case up and down stairs, heh, heh.

Yep, that case can be one heavy bugger!

Glad he likes it. Good sale
