Asking $4500 OBO. Horn is located in Eugene, Oregon. I'm willing to drive to deliver or let you try it out (my schedule permitting). Will also ship via Greyhound for a week trial or final sale. PM me and we can figure something out. Will also send more pics upon request.
ADDITIONAL INFO:
- All valves and slides move freely. Nothing "sticks"
- Configurable 5th valve slides allow the player to lower pitch either a whole step or a major third. For me, once I decide which configuration I liked best, I went with it and hardly ever used the other.
- The 5th valve as a flat whole step works pretty well as a "BBb" valve, allowing you to hold it down and play as you would a BBb tuba. This helps in the transition from playing BBb tubas to this CC tuba.
- With this using rotary valves, water collects at just ONE water key. This is nice compared to having to pull several slides out and/or flip the tuba upside down as with most piston tubas.
- Good intonation. It doesn't fight you for the right pitch, and little to no 1st slide pulling is necessary.
- Has strap rings for use standing/marching.
- There is a dent on the bottom bow where it rests on your lap, and a few smaller dents around the bottom as well, but they do not affect playing quality.
- There are a few areas where the lacquer is worn, scratched, and otherwise imperfect, but nothing major stands out visually.
Thank you for looking! PLEASE PM WITH ANY INQUIRIES!
