Does anyone have an idea of what a silver Martin 3 valve Eb tuba with a 20 1/2 upright bell is worth? The horn is in very good shape with a few small dings and the valves work well with good compression. The horn dates back to the 50s I believe and has been well maintained.
The archives seem to just have information about some of the BBb Martins, and can't seem to locate anything comparable.
Thanks.
It looks exactly like the horn here:

Yep, that's become the de-facto appraisal tool for used tubas, especially if you are looking for a quick sale.cjk wrote:It should be quite evident after Apr 16, 2010 11:06:08 PDT.
