Update: this instrument is SOLD.

For sale is my wonderful rotary Fafner, MW's 5/4 BBb with 4 valves, an immense sound and surprising efficiency.
This instrument is a complete joy to play, especially if you love the rich Germanic tone tradition as much as I have.

Included with this instrument is a MW Aluminum case and a Cronkite bag.
All are in excellent condition and located in my home just south of Boston.

$7,500 and worth every single penny.

Had to double check the year on this post... Back to the future?!

Beautiful tuba!

indeed - same post, same great horn.
I'll miss her, but it's time.

I visited Jim, who was a delight to deal with, and played his horn, which was also delightful. I’m a piston guy, however, and was satisfied with my current crop so took a pass on his beauty.

Hi Doc-

Any specific questions? Happy to answer any/all.

I did! The buyer decided it wasn't the style of horn he was looking for, so I took it back. Now it's time to find the right home for her.

...you THOUGHT you had finished...

Update: this horn is ON HOLD.
Thanks for all the interest-
