Hey Kiltie,
I've been tempted by that Contempora for awhile. Either another valve or an upright bell might push me over the edge. I missed an auction on a clapped out 3v with a useable two piece upright bell about 2 months ago I thought the bell would go good with this horm. These are supposed to be good players but I have doubts they'd play better then my 1241. The Sousa/helicon combo looks like a steal. It sounds like you're pretty snowed in up there. Stay warm and practice.

This is in Eugene, OR. We have a few members at UofO. Anybody know anything about this horn or the seller, 'The Tuba Czar"?KiltieTuba wrote:Here's another interesting tuba:
Looks like a Conn 4J or whatever the CC tuba is, but with a sousaphone flare on a bell stack

Re: Some CL Ads
The"Tuba Czar" has been active in the local tuba scene in Eugene for many years. When I bought my 1241 from him he said his hearing was keeping him from playing anymore. He does a few horn modifications on the side as well as buy and sell horns. He does know his tubas and he has some interesting stuff from time to time. He's a really interesting guy to speak with.
