York Tubas for sale

I have 2 York Tubas that I would like to offer for sale. We all know the York legend, and that genuine York tubas are not plentiful. This is not a fire sale, these are historical instruments that have the added value of playing nicely.

1. The 1904 York, Bb, 4 upright valves, silver in finish, and viewable on the site: http://www.cooltubas.com
This is a unique, nicely tight wrap, that gives the tuba the appearance of a 3/4, yet with the 19 inch bell and sound, you'll quickly realize it's a much bigger tuba than you realized. The silver is about 90% intact and beautiful. It is worn at the contact point where you play the valves. I had it serviced at The Brass Bow, and everything works well. To have a chance to own a historical tuba like this is indeed a rare occassion.
Comes with it's original case, which is in fair/poor condition.

2. A small Eb, 3 upright valves. Again, has a large bell for it's size, purchased and serviced by Dillon's, this is about as small as a tuba can be, the bore may be around .610. If you need something small to carry around, this is for you. I've used it for 2 years, carrying it to student's lessons, you can literally put it under your arm and go. Or might be nice for you hackers and choppers, wanting to make a Fluba, or some other project. The finish on this one is not as nice, it's old, has some pits, and would probably need to be redone to have a show piece

If you've been waiting for a chance to own the Genuine Article, a real life YORK, your prayers have been answered

I can e-mail pictures on request, and will entertain offers which are serious. E-mail me at: dunelandmusic@earthlink.net

Will post pictures if I figure out how to do it

For my own info, what is a good site for image hosting?

Since you are already an Earthlink customer, you have a "starter site" already available to you as part of your subscription. It's address is soemthing like home.earthlink.net/~your_user_name. Earthlink even provides an online site builder. Read about it at www.earthlink.net. It isn't very big and won't support many of the functions needed for complex web pages, but it would be fine for hosting a small image gallery. In fact, all you really need to do is have a file called "index.html" that lists links to your picture files. You could produce that file using Microsoft Word--just type it as you want to see it and save it as an HTM file. Then use Earthlink's file manager to upload that file and your picture files to your starter site. It's really that simple. Or, use the site builder interface that Earthlink provides.

When I want to show a picture here, I use an FTP program (WSFTP and FlashFXP are two examples) to copy the file to a scratch area in my domain (which is also hosted by Earthlink). Then, I can link the picture here using the IMG tag. You don't even have to have a web page to do that, just a place to park files that is accessible to the Internet.

Yowza, Rick, you blew my mind with the Geek Speak!
Computers are definitely a daily learning experience.
Thanks for your attempt to educate.

Well, they've been listed for a week, I've had a few e-mails of interest, just thought I might ask if anyone else is interested before this opportunity passes people by
