SOLD: Meinl Weston 6450/2 Baer Handmade CC Tuba email budomu@gmail.com" target="_blank" target="_blank"



$17,995

Located in New Orleans.
Plan a visit to New Orleans to make the purchase, and I'll show you a good time.

This is a very fine tuba. Super silky smooth. Huge dynamic range. Sophisticated and beautiful sound, capable of a darker spectrum and bigger louds than the average Baer. Incredible craftsmanship beyond Meinl Weston's normal standards with every slide perfectly aligned from the beginning.

I bought this horn when I was at Carnegie Mellon. It was an upgrade from my production model 6450, which I had thought was too good to be true (and it was amazing), but this handmade 6450/2 had a more complex tone pallet to work with. I've used it for many concerts over the years with my orchestra, the Asheville Symphony, and other orchestras I've subbed with. I did not use it for Air Force gigs as I had a government owned 6450/2 for that purpose.

One owner, me. Manufactured and purchased in 2009.
Given regular baths and professional cleanings throughout life. Most recent professional chem-cleaning, May 2016.
Small dings on bell and bow. No dents.
No modifications have been made.
Comes with Baer PVAK and Cronkhite gig bag.

Bump for a tuba that sings smoother than Buble.

Now located in New Orleans. This grand orchestral tuba is now a grand jazz tuba too.

Smarter than the average Baer

I have played this tuba a few years ago and it is a great example of the Baer and it's handmade. At this price it is a steal for someone looking for a great large horn. Bud is also a very trustworthy and honest person and he takes care of his gear. Damn good tuba player too!

Bump for new low price.

I, too, can attest to the superb quality of this horn. I had the opportunity to play it a couple months ago, and it made me wish I had CC fingering down. Although my brain kept getting in the way I thoroughly enjoyed it's tone. Huge sound and very nimble action. This horn needs to belong to someone who wants the best possible large CC
