SOLD

I am selling my Yamaha 621S CC tuba. This is a fantastic 3/4 horn that really plays much bigger than it is. This is an older model and has the metal valve guides (I'd be lying if I said I knew exactly why that was important, but when I bought it the seller mentioned it to me). Also included is the original Yamaha hard case it came with and a Jim Self Replica mouthpiece.
This horn plays incredibly well and is an amazing chamber (I know John Manning uses this model in the Atlantic Brass Quintet) and solo horn. The tuba also works well in community bands and many other settings. The low register responds much better than you'd expect from a 3/4 horn and there is very little slide pulling to be done.
Cosmetically, it is in great condition. Very few scratches, and a couple dents and dings from normal usage. The bell could probably use to be rolled out as there is a very slight crease. I never bothered to do it myself because from five feet away you cannot notice it and it never impacted the sound of the horn.
The horn is located in the Chicago area. I am willing to drive a couple hours to meet for a test run. I am asking $4,600 + shipping for the horn and will entertain all serious offers. PM me for more information. Pics can be found here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1agGDa ... YE_eIrV227
