I am selling my 188, previously owned by Tommy Johnson and Norm Pearson. Serial number is 13590. This horn was used on countless studio recordings with Tommy, and a few with me. This is a great playing instrument and is in excellent shape for its age. Please let me know if there are any questions. $7500obo
Thank you,
Justin Jerome

This tuba was used on almost every studio recording from 1988 until Mr. Johnson passed away in 2006.
It was used on hundreds of motion pictures. Not only a piece of history but a solid tuba.

Hard to tell from the pictures, but does this have the old style 2-3 combo 5th valve slide? I've gotten to the point that I'm only comfortable with the modern flat whole step 5th.
