Re: King 1140 Ft. Myers FL $475
The seller seems to be an experienced tuba player and tooted a bit on it. (See Youtube link) It sounded in tune and he said he went through the and soldered anything loose cleaned it up. A buyer could spend some time with coarse wire wool to take the rest of the lacquer off and some rubbing with some fine wire wool to give it a more even finish. It comes with a case and, at $475 (the picture shows a mouthpiece so I hope one is included) it would be a great stay at home practice horn for a late grade school, middle school aspiring tuba player. Twenty minutes or a half hour of scales could be put in every night. Plus the instruction in band every day, a player could move ahead quickly. When a player progresses past this level, if the horn looks pretty much like it did when it was bought, it probably be sold for the same $475 price. A middle school tubist in Florida to get a lot of good practice and good use out of this. (Maybe use it for football and basketball games in HS so the "good horn' isn't risked.edsel585960 wrote:3/4 size Bb student horn.

Re: King 1140 Ft. Myers FL $475
Thanks for the plug Ben. There is a mouthpiece included. 
It's a hobby of mine fixing horns. Got in to it when the local shop charged me $45 bucks to solder a thumb ring back on. 
It ain't rocket science, its plumbing. I try to keep the price down so parents don't have to take out a 2nd mortgage on the house to get their students a playable horn. May not be pretty but they will play. If I count the hours I work on them I don't make squat. 
Just try to make enough to buy more solder. I could strip the lacquer on the bell but more time spent on it means the cost would go up.
