SOLD: Classic Rudolph Meinl 3/4 CC Tuba
Posted: Thu Nov 08, 2018 9:32 am
This classic Rudy Meinl horn was bought 4 years ago from the previous owner and not played much. It is a great playing Rudy with S-Linkage Valves and an “old-school,” 3rd Valve Slide Pull. I now must part with it because it isn’t getting played for several reasons including some health issues (recent cardiac event and I use a wheelchair and can't pick the horn up very easily), the horn needs some work (brace need to be soldered, some tuning slide dents, the bell has been worked on), and I don’t have the room and no reason to just have it stored.

I am told from its previous owner that this horn was possibly part of the first Rudy Meinl Tubas that were imported to the USA in the late ‘60’s/early 70’s. I cannot confirm nor deny these facts. I do know that it has not been updated, has a few minor dents & requires a little bit of work, it plays as I expected & hoped it would play and that I hope it gets into the hands of someone who will appreciate it’s classic look, traditional sound, and will get much use out of the horn. Once upon a time I was excited to update the valves, get a new 3rd Valve Slide Pull and have it cleaned. Perhaps that interests you!
Included in the sale of the horn is an Altieri Gig Bag.
Buyer assumes all shipping responsibilities and costs.
The horn is located in the Greenwich Village Neighborhood in Manhattan, New York. All sales final.
