BMB J-845SP 5-valve CC tuba - $4,750

Post by BassTBone »

Circa 2010 Big Mouth Brass 4/4 5-valve CC tuba in silver plate. The horn was just customized by Scott Sweeney of Sweeney Brass by venting all four valves and lapping the first valve slide for ease of movement when "tromboning" for first valve combinations (although I haven't had to do much movement). The main tuning slide was lengthened slightly to allow me to have more leeway in overall pitch. That just involved replacing a short tube but I kept the original in case you wanted it back. A really simple mod. Silver plate is in excellent condition. There are some scratches and a few small dents. The horn does not include a mouthpiece.

The horn comes with a top-loading gig bag and rolling hard case. Would REALLY prefer local pickup but will consider shipping at buyer's expense. I'm willing to drive up to an hour from Holly Springs, NC to deliver for serious buyers.

Its a great horn. I just saw something else that I like better (but WAY more expensive). Here's a dropbox link to view some pics.
