Selling: Besson 3-valve Compensating BBb Tuba with Altieri gig bag and Denis Wick mouthpiece
Price: $1950 OBO
Location: Los Angeles (local pickup only)

Hi everyone!
I'm selling my Besson 3-valve compensating BBb tuba. It's a British brass band style tuba with a Euro shank. The serial number dates it to about 1974 and it still plays great. I last had it clean in fall of 2019 and it is in great shape. A great tuba for starting out or someone looking to get back in the game. It comes with a custom Altieri gift bag and Denis Wick mouthpiece. Local pickup only.

It's a great all-round tuba that also serves with distinction in a community concert band very well due to its great tone and superlative intonation, which is where I used the one I used to have before I sold it to a friend who needed it more than I did.
