Hello, everyone!
For sale is my Conn 3J CC tuba. This is my everyday tuba for my current gig, but it looks like I'll be moving to different equipment for the foreseeable future, so I'm happy to post it For Sale here. I trust this horn for everything I do currently, and I'm able to answer any questions you might have about the instrument.
The price for the instrument is $2,500 firm. I will arrange for shipping anywhere in the Continental USA at no cost to you. The horn will be coming from Tokyo, JP, and will be available anytime after September 4. I can also arrange a meet-up in person if you're located somewhere in either Kantō or the Midwestern USA.
What's with the straps and wires?
I have the horn hooked up with a small-diaphragm condenser mic and a wireless transmitter for my current show. It's held on by the velcro straps and pads you can see in the pictures. Our sound guys put a lot of work into the set-up, and I didn't want to make them go through the trouble of setting the horn up again if I removed them for the pictures. They will remove all of the wires and straps before shipping to you, in addition to me cleaning the horn inside and out.

Condition
Everything on the horn moves quickly and silently. I had the valves re-padded and aligned two weeks ago by an instrument tech. I will wash all of the green oxidized copper from the body of the horn after the show has finished next week. There are no signs of damage to the horn, and everything is original except for some of the valve buttons which have been swapped from different Conns.
It's a cool horn that does everything extremely well. Please feel free to contact me at grahamroese@gmail.com" target="_blank" target="_blank" target="_blank if you're interested.

Can you say "patina"?
pa ti na
I knew that you could.
I'm not in the market, but I have played these horns, and I found it could do well for commercial, jazzin', recording (mics well) and quintet playing, and in the right hands even more. Did what I needed in a pit orchestra. In a word, "flexible", and as someone said "facile", and not some heavy tank.
