Re: 6/4 Piggy CC Tuba $4,600
Ok, I hate to see horns languish on the For Sale page...
How tall is this tuba? What is the bell diameter? Hard to know these things from the photos, and hard to get a true sense of the size of this horn otherwise.
A photo of a person holding it works really well for this. And a recording of playing it can help a lot too.
More info: this tuba was built by Norm Epley. If you don't know him, he is a very skilled repairman and instrument builder in Kentucky, very much knows what he is doing. So don't be afraid that this might look a little different, it's not something that was just thrown together. I haven't owned one of his custom tubas yet, but have bought a few other horns from him in the past 5 or so years. Great person, great work on the tubas.
I don't know Sink or his tuba... but again, it's coming up on 1 year here, and I hate to see things sit for that long.

I currently play a Hirsbrunner HB21.
It's kind of rough currently cause of this quarantine and unmotivation. I'll try to get a video up but kind of hard right now.
Thank you for the input.

I mean this respectfully... But this has been for sale for nearly 11 months now. You may need to do more than just bumping it to get it sold.
