FS: Handmade Nirschl 5/4 (large 4/4) **SOLD**

Horn is SOLD, thanks everyone for the interest!
For Sale: Handmade 5/4 (large 4/4) Walter Nirschl CC tuba, 5 valves (4 Pistons 1 rotor).
Mid 1990s make, silver in great condition. Singing mid to upper register and fat low register with the older, larger 5th valve, which is better in my opinion. Intonation very good, especially in the low register, but it can be mouthpiece sensitive and "e" in the staff can be played open. Customized 5th valve in RH (see pics below) and tubes added to back of valve caps for moisture (not added by me, see pics). This is an excellent example of these rare instruments. It has the good set of bigger valves, not as large as the MW big valves, NOT the Brazilian made valves. The silver plating is bright and in excellent shape, there is one small dent in an inner branch (also pictured) and some minor spots here and there but overall it's in great shape. A previous owner customized this and it plays wonderfully. Comes with Altieri bag (pictured).
$10,992 + shipping but do have a case for Greyhound, no trials please.
Interested? Email or PM me directly, I will respond.
Horn is located in Dallas, TX.
Thank you,
Chris Combest
