For Sale/For Trade St. Petersburg 209 CC
Posted: Fri Jan 31, 2020 10:19 pm
Hello all. The time has come for me to sell or trade my St. Petersburg 209 CC tuba as I am looking to upgrade to another CC or an F. This tuba served me well in the beginning of my undergrad. This horn comes with a Tuba Exchange gig. I am located in the Metro Atlanta Area.
I am looking to get $3700 OR BEST OFFER for the horn and gig bag. The price is negotiable, and I am open to any cash or trade offers. I am willing to drive a fair amount to meet but shipping can be done but that will be at the buyer’s expense after we have agreed on a price.
For trades I am primarily looking for a 4/4 CC with a 4 piston 1 rotor setup similar to the Eastman 632 or Yamaha 822. When it comes to F tubas, I am looking for the same style of valve setup. I’m not against 5 rotary valves though and will consider those as well!
PROS:
• This horn has been well taken care of. It’s gotten a few chem clean baths since I’ve owned it and is always stored in either its gig bag or soft case when not in use.
• All the valves and slides move freely and quietly. I will make sure to grease the slides and oil the valves before handing it off to its new owner.
• This horn is very comfortable to hold for long periods of time.
• The sound. For anyone who has played a St. Pete they know that these horns sit on the smaller end of a 4/4 horn. This tuba has a big sound and will be great in anything from a chamber group to wind ensemble or a college orchestra. It also plays very well as a solo horn as well and sounds full in all ranges.
• Intonation: the horn plays well. It does require some slide manipulation mostly of the 1st and occasionally the 4th slides for Db for me at least.
CONS:
• Dents: The horn has a few dents. These dents DO NOT affect the horns sound or playability in anyway. One is a small one on the bell that was present when I first purchased it. There are two dents on the body. One is on the body brace at the top of the bow before it takes the last turn to the bell and the other is alone the bottom bow brace.
• This horn is an older edition of the 209. Having played some of the newer 209s the only difference I can feel is that those feel more compact holding it.
• The receiver: The receiver for this horn is in no way damaged. The receiver is smaller than your standard receiver but It WILL fit a standard mouthpiece in the receiver, but the mouthpiece will stick it out more than a standard receiver.
Lacquer wear: as this horn was well used and cared for it does have your typical lacquer wear spots. I have pictures of the worn spots.
Please feel free to message me with any questions or offers!
