Oh my!
Seller states, "One of a kind". Gosh, I sure hope so.
might look okay in André Rieu's orchestra.

Re: Blue Tuba?
Every tune you play with it has to start, "I woke up this morning... " !
Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?

It's the white dust slip cover that commands the $7500 price tag!

Once repaired, how is one to "touch up" the repaired area? It's not just a "buff that area and spray over it" situation. Also, as this sort of finish wears, (unlike clear lacquer) it just doesn't "age gracefully" and - once worn - assumes a "ghetto" aura.
I have worked on a RED King trombone and had to swap out a hand slide crook. I just happened to have a random can of red spray paint in my trunk from a craft project and it was a SPOT ON MATCH! I got lucky...
My brother in law bought a purple sax on ebay and decided after a few years not to play it anymore so he gave it to me. He dropped it during a parade a put a good size dent in the bottom bow. I used a ball on a rod to gently push out the dent and the paint in the surrounding area flaked off...
It doesn't break my heart too much as the instrument is probably worth about $40 bucks in playing condition.
