Hello everyone! I have a very interesting King 1241 that I recently acquired. As far as I can guess, I think this was used as the reference tuba at the King factory. It shows no signs of ever being lacquered, and it feels heavier and thicker leading me to believe it's never been buffed either. There are markings all over it such as, "30mm from end" and "#3" and such. I really believe this was a reference tuba of some sort. When I got it, it had no guards on the bottom bow and was missing a few braces. I just finished putting everything on today, so it is a complete tuba. There are no noticeable dents anywhere on it. I have not gotten around to buffing anything other than the slides, and you can see where new braces were soldered on, but it plays great! The bottom half is a little pink because I just dipped it today after all the solder work.

This is pretty much a factory new King 1241. No noticeable dents, pristine plating on the valves, and a 19" upright bell (the better of the two bell options if you ask me). I'm asking $2,100 for it, or best reasonable offer. I REALLY don't want to polish it, so all reasonable offers are welcome! I'm located in Cleveland, Ohio and can drive a reasonable distance to facilitate a sale. I can also ship it if you pay shipping. Please let me know if you have any questions!

Edit: There is a person in the area with a case for this. I can add that on for an additional $75.

There is a person in the area with a case for this as well if you're interested!

Bump! I bought the hard case for this, so shipping will be fairly easy if you live far away!

Bump for price reduction!

Bump for big price reduction. I thought someone would be interested in the history behind it for a collection, but I guess I was wrong. The price is now $2,100. I'm motivated to sell, so shoot me an offer!
