Hello,
I am currently in the market for a 5 valve Eb tuba. I currently play on a Cerveny 4 Valve non compensating, and would like to upgrade. I would prefer to buy used to fit my budget more. Because of the way my hands are I need a rotary valve, I have yet to find a piston my hands can actually fit. If anyone has a horn there looking to sell or know of some other places to look that would be greatly appreciated. I have been looking around for quite awhile with not much luck, so I figured I would post something here.
Thank you

It would be great to stay under 5k,

Yeah that's why I'm hoping to go more the used route. I have a St. Pete 209N that was a pre production model with some custom work done on it and its one of the nicest CC I have ever played on.

Tim's Music in Sacramento just got in a 5-V Eb Miraphone - I'm guessing it's a 183, overall about the size of a 4/4 F tuba. Has the old plastic ball linkages. Looked to be maybe early 80's build. Overall in very good condition - it's a consignment but did not have a price yet.

There is one at Baltimore Brass for 3,000.

Interesting: that Gemeinhardt has an 18" bell.
