No valves? Who is this guy kidding? All I see is a parts horn, and even THAT is debatable. And he says no reserve, but the minimum bid is $269?
Pass.

Granted that this horn might not be for everybody. However... even thought the King 1240 marching convertible tubas weren't very good or popular... those two mouthpipe clamps and leadpipe have been obsolete for a long time and are probably missing from most of the horns sitting in back rooms of repair shops and school systems.

Good point Dan. You're a glass half full kind of guy. :D
