Sold I am selling my Hojo. This is a great 3/4 BBb tuba. I am retired and only need one horn now. The Hojo is 2 years old and is in perfect condition with no scratches, dents or finish blemishes of any kind. I have a custom Jacob Winter case and MW gig bag that goes with it. The horn is in Hot Springs, Arkansas. Price reduced to 4750. New ones cost from 8300 to 8800 without a hard case, depending on which retailer is selling them.
Pictures below. PM me for more pictures.
Thanks,
Rick

Re: Meinl Weston 2011 FA Hojo For Sale
Still for sale. If you are a BBb player, this is a wonderful smaller tuba that I have used in community band, playing solos with the band, (The Old Grumbly Bear), in church and for quintet use.
Perfect condition.

What a great looking horn. And not even the good top-action model either.
Heck of a deal!

$4750 is the reduced price. Here are the dimensions from the catalogue (they call it a 1/2 tuba, but I think Rick is correct in calling it a 3/4 because it isn't that small):Dreamofoenghus wrote:What are the dimensions of the horn? And what is the reduced price now at?

Thanks Robert. We are traveling to Virginia so I have not checked for any new posts lately. If I was to describe the size, I would say it is larger than a Yamaha 621. I had a Yamaha 621 on trial before getting the Hojo, and I like the Hojo much better. But that's just my preference.

I played one of these at Tubadome 10 ish years ago when I bought my Thor. I was really impressed.possibly the best made/playing tuba in this key and size range.
