For sale is a Meinl Weston William Bell 5 rotor valve CC tuba. This is the version that does not include the detachable bell. The horn definitely has some mileage on it, but it still plays well. I recently had it professionally cleaned and the valves overhauled. The valves were in bad shape when I bought this horn, and now they are functioning perfectly! The Chicago area repair tech who did the work (as always) truly did an amazing job with this tuba!
I am selling because I will soon be moving to Hawaii and I am looking to downsize my stable. This is a really nice horn, priced to sell for anyone wanting a good quality tuba on a budget. Pictures:

Horn is located in Chicago. I would prefer not to ship, and I will drive a reasonable to meet interested buyers. If shipping is necessary, buyer pays shipping, and CONUS only. Please PM or email me at chris.bettler8822@gmail.com" target="_blank if you are interested. Thanks!

Very good horns 
I've owned two of them and would happily own another if my budget afforded it

I have played this instrument; condition is very solid, and the maintenance is tip top. There is normal wear as you would expect on the finish. The size of the horn is a little bigger than you might think, and the sound is also rich and full. It was my pleasure to meet Chris as well.

A good, solid 5v CC for cheap. Kinda surprised this tuba hasn't sold yet at that price!
