Here is a "Musica" tuba made by VMI (B&S) in very good condition. This model does not correspond with a known B&S model, like many B&S stencils do. But you can see it has many B&S features that you may recognize. This is a 4/4 tuba, very comparable to a Mirafone 186 in physical size and sound output. Height is 42 2/3", bell is 16 1/2", and the upper bow is 27 2/3" in height (i.e., the amount of bell above the upper bow is 15". I refer to this as the "over-bell" when designing and making gig bags.) The photos will show a dent or two that have since been taken out. You can still see evidence of a previously rolled out crinkle on the bell flare. This tuba plays beautifully. And is especially beautiful sounding and I wish I needed it! Valves and slides all work very well. Gig-ready (ha-ha-ha!) right out of the box. I would love to keep this horn but extra tubas take up space that I need for other things.

$2400 for the horn alone.
$2650 for the horn in a lightly used Götz top-loader (made for a MW 25). Fit is a bit roomy but adequate.
$2900 for the horn in a Superfine gig bag. This is my company. Bag will be custom-fitted and will take 2 weeks. >> http://www.superfinecases.com" target="_blank" target="_blank" target="_blank

Solid tuba, solid price!

That would be a good way to describe it, bort! I think it is a "no-brainer," also...

Also, I just realized that this horn will fit (95% sure) into the plain-Jane, Tolex-covered plywood case that is hogging up room in my garage. I am dying to see this case go away. It will be FREE with any tuba purchase. Some restriction apply. May not be available in all states. Limit one per household.

Price reduction. Come on, folks - great horn! Ready to play!

Yes, believe it or not. You can email me at tom.sonicbrass @ google's email service.

Hard to believe this tuba hasn't sold yet.
It's a quality horn in great condition.

It is gone! A high school player in Minnesota. He will love it...
