Tmea update: Alexander 164 BBb w/removable bell price $6000
Posted: Mon Dec 11, 2017 6:51 pm
After much difficult thought And debate with myself I've decided it's time to let it go as a last ditch attempt to help pay for school, This is a beast of a BBb tuba that puts out a really sub wooferesque sound Especially in the lower register. The Fs all line up intonation wise which I've been told is odd, even the F above the staff plays in tune which is the most odd thing to me, otherwise the intonation is really quite good overall, C# in the staff is very flat you'll need to lip it or use 2-3, the pedal low D and low Db take a bit of practice to place right too, aside from those there aren't any notes that strike me as bad notes the horn just takes a bit of time to learn as any Alexander would, but its very worth it as the sound that comes of it is amazing to me, it has a huge broad dark sound that is perfect for Russian works, I've used it on Prokofiev 5, his cello concerto, overture to war and peace, Tchaikovskys' Marche Slave , Coplands fanfare for a common man, the ride of the Valkyries, and Mars to name a few notable pieces. The Alex has a removable bell which is nice and convenient since the horn is pretty tall, it's not as heavy as you might think though since its an Alex, it also has an Alexander made forward facing bell, a modified MTS hard case and a protect gig bag, I'm also throwing in the Warren Deck mouthpiece I've been using on it. All the rotors work smoothly and quickly, I believe the horn is from the 50s, so it retains the large shank and has some dents and scratches here and there but it's perfectly mechanically usable and a good tech could probably touch up any of the dents easily. Any other questions or negotiation offers please pm me.
