Reynolds Eb recording bass - satin silver/w gold SOLD

Post by TheGoyWonder »

This is a unique Eb tuba with plucky yet deep tone and nice intonation. Cute as a button too. .687" bore, 20 3/4" recording bell with 5 1/2+" tenon. $750

The 1st valve trigger is awesome and gives you precise corrections to 13 and 123 combinations. The cool pistol grip is included, it's very ergonomic to reach right thru the horn and use. You can even push to fix a flat 4th line F and it returns automatically. False tone are accessible, a bit pithy but you can get by to hit the occassional low note. Realistically, broad phrases around a low Bb aren't going to be that impressive like on any bass tuba.

This could be a very desirable alternative to popular Giant Eb, it's just enough smaller in body to have good intonation. The tenon is 5.5+" as opposed to 6+" on a Giant (assuming Conn 28K is considered equivalent to a Giant). And because it doesn't require a tiny mouthpiece (18 size is fine, PT-82 is really nice even with wrong shank) it could be exceed a Giant. I'd love to see it hotrodded to 4/5 valves and upright bell throat, it just won't be me to do it.

I am interested in the horn. Can you estimate the shipping cost from where you are to New Jersey?

Lotta interest, I love that this horn will find a good home. Here's how we're going to do it:
1. Submit your best price (hint: above asking) by email/Tubenet PM.
2. Include your ZIPCODE for a fast shipping estimate and PayPal email to invoice if you win.
3. EOD Friday 8/12 I will Paypal invoice the winning bidder. I'm not sharing bids so no point in bidding late Ebay style.

To estimate your own shipping:
23 lb 31x20x13 and
7 lb 22x22x21
From 53719. +$10.75 for insurance.
And shipping might end up being less than estimated too, if Paypal gives you access on online-exclusive Parcel Select rates. I'll pay back the difference in that event.

Bid to win!

One day remaining - I should mention I got this from Lee Stofer. Not sure if it had the full Stoferization, but it had the whole-hog cleaning and expert dent removal within a year. And surely subject to a rigorous pre-selection.
