6/4 CC Mel Culbertson 5198 'Neptune' - SOLD

For sale is my 6/4 Mel Culbertson 5198 'Neptune'. This is an excellent BIG CC tuba, very similar to the B&S PT-6p and PT-7p, however, the Neptune is beefed up with a larger bell and bottom bow. I've owned this tuba since 2010 and used it through two degrees.
I would also be interested in a trade for a piston Eb tuba (particularly a Besson 983
)
Here's the horn in action: Alongside with Dr.Kleinsteuber's 6/4 Nirschl!

Great looking tuba!
Curious -- what is the rotary tuba in the section in that video?
