Old Martin with Nirschl valve section-Sold

Post by Art Hovey »

I have finally decided to part with my father's BBb tuba. I have used it for the past 20 years, but I am getting too old for a tuba that heavy. It has both upright and recording bells. It's not the Mammoth, but is bigger than a King.

I hope to find a good home for it. It has a lot of good memories.

I'd be surprised if even ONE Tubenet member didn't think "how fast can I come up with the money?"
