Only problem is its tuned to 443, however i cant imagine it would be too expensive to order a new, longer tuning slide from AlexanderDP wrote:You should buy that and when you tire of it flip it for 12 grand!EMC wrote:http://www.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de/s-anze ... 37-74-5324" target="_blank

Re: Beautiful Alexander BBb
I have played this horn. It may be one of the top 3 BBb tubas I have ever played. It's very light and has very fast response for a BBb tuba. It was restored at the factory and they did an outstanding job on it.
