Selling my 1965 Mahillon 390 BBb at BBC

Since I bought the Alexander F, I no longer need this one. For those not familiar, it's a 3/4 4-valve top-action tuba. Howard Johnson played one of these tubas before he switched to Meinl-Weston. Recently serviced. $1,800.00. And yes, this is the same tuba that had a trumpet mute stuck inside when I got it. See it on this page:

I had gotten a very nice used leather Cronkhite bag which was a good working fit for this horn. It will also fit a bunch of other tubas so it's being sold separately, at $475. Not listed on BBC's accessories page yet, I'll post an update when it is.

Thanks for looking!
