Fall tuba and euph sale at The Horn Guys

[The Horn Guys]

Here is a Fall 2014 list of some of our regular stock, scratch and dent instruments, display models, and some horns I'm tired of looking at.
Enjoy,

Steve Ferguson

Meinl Weston 45SLP F tuba - Classic medium size 5V piston F tuba from B&S in Germany, includes second slide trigger for the left hand. Also includes a small dent in the bottom bow from shipping. It's not easily fixed, but it's hardly worth noticing. This is a particularly good playing example of the 45SLP. It's a new display model, which has been shown at several shows by the importer. Sold without case. We have several gig bag, hard case, and road case choices are available.
SALE PRICE $6,495

Miraphone 281 Firebird F tuba - New model medium size solo F tuba in all gold brass with 6 rotary valves in the 5+1 setup. This one has a tiny ding in the bell throat where some $#@%* dropped a mouthpiece on it. It's nothing, but it deserves a blowout price. Sold without case.
Regular $11,050, SALE PRICE $9,495

Miraphone 381 Bel Canto Solo F tuba - New model, large symphonic size 6V rotary F tuba. This one is made in all lightweight gold brass, in a 4+2 setup, German style. It has a tiny ding in the bottom bow from some small office fixture falling on it, and it's nothing, and not worth fixing. But it deserves a blowout price too. Sold without case.
Regular $10,395, SALE PRICE $8,895

SOLD B&S Perantucci PT18 F tuba - This is a new model from B&S in Germany, called both by the old model number, PT-18, and the new one, the MRP (Mr. Perantoni). It looks exactly like the traditional PT15 rotary tuba, but it has piston valves instead of rotary. You can even see how the standard length leadpipe was rerouted for this new model. It's in all silver plate, and includes a B&S gig bag. It's as close to new as one can get without being exactly new. It's mint. I traded a Gronitz to a client for this one in a big international tuba swap.
Regular $11,373, SALE PRICE $8,295

Cerveny 651 F tuba - Traditional medium size 5V rotary F tuba made in the Czech Republic, special model with all valves right hand, includes second slide trigger for the left hand. It's not the tuba that the newest Miraphones are, but it's half the price and reminds us of an older B&S in style. Very playable, includes hard case.
SALE PRICE $4,795

King 2341 BBb tuba - American-style compact 4/4 4V piston BBb tuba. Medium bore with a large bell makes it fairly nimble, but has that classic 1930's American tuba sound. This is a show display model from NAMM, in perfect condition, includes hard case.
SALE PRICE $5,995

Jupiter 582L BBb tuba - Four front piston 4/4 size BBb tuba, similar to the above King, but with a slightly larger bore (.732"). Nice player, generally equal to the King. These have improved remarkably through the years. Includes hard case.
Regular $5,195, SALE PRICE $4,495

Jupiter 584S CC tuba - Same as above, but in CC with 4 pistons and one rotary valve, all right hand. In silver plate finish. New, but show display model. We're waiting for a part for the fifth rotor, which will hopefully arrive soon. Very decent medium size CC tuba, somewhat weighty, good first CC tuba for a player on a modest budget. Includes hard case.
Regular $5,195, SALE PRICE $4,495

Meinl Weston 2141 Eb Tuba - Large 5V piston F tuba from Germany, front pistons and one rotary. In lacquer finish with some lacquer missing from the bell throat, but it's easily polished. Nice "do anything" solo tuba in excellent condition otherwise. Used, A-, includes B&S gig bag.
SALE PRICE $6,695

Gronitz PCK CC tuba - Large 6/4 5V piston CC Kaiser tuba, one of the best in the world. It's Hirsbrunner quality, custom made in a small shop in Hamburg, Germany by Dietrich Kleinehorst. Many players win auditions on these. They are very lightweight, being made mostly of sheet brass parts. This model is in silver plate, and has a ding in the top bow from some minor mishandling at Gronitz. It's tiny. It could be taken out with a magnetic dent ball, but don't bother. It's like a door ding on a car. But, you get a special price. Sold without case.
Regular $16,950, SALE PRICE $15,950 (save $1,000!)

Yamaha 321S - Classic jobbing horn, 4 top pistons, non-compensating, in all silver plate, includes case. This was shown as a display model at a show, in flawless condition. We may have a special plug-in fifth rotor available for this horn again next year.
Regular $2,613, SALE PRICE $2,170

Jupiter 570L - Similar to the above Yamaha, it's a 4 piston top action, non-compensating model. It has a large, bass trombone mouthpipe receiver. In lacquer finish, it includes hard case. This was a show display model. The last one of these I played, I liked even better than the Yamaha 321. It's worth a blow for the player looking for an excellent jobbing horn.
SALE PRICE $1,725

Miraphone 670CC contrabass trombone—in CC with 2 rotors and double slide, converts to BBb as well.
Meinl Weston aluminum road case for a medium-size tuba, like a PT15, 45SLP, Miraphone 181. Used, display model, make an offer.
