I have two Eb tubas, and only want one. Here are both. I'll keep the one that doesn't sell first.
FIRST OPTION: ACCORD 3-VALVE
Wanting to learn Eb, I bought this tuba as a low-cost way to stick my toe in the water. It has been great for that. No one is ever going to mistake it for a great instrument, but it is a practical, very usable, low-cost option.
There was (FedEx) damage to the bell when I received it, but it has been very well repaired and you have to know it was there to find evidence of it. Also the first valve was a bit sticky when I got it due to a problematic valve guide. I replaced the springs as well. The valves all work properly now.
It comes with the original case and mouthpiece.
Currently on Ebay here. The BIN is $500.00
SECOND OPTION: 4-VALVE MARTIN USN
I bought this recently. I've had a couple of hundred dollars worth of work done on it: all the tuning slides move freely, and a leak was repaired in #2; the valves have new felts and are correctly aligned; some dents have been removed.
Recent pictures are here.
A discussion of the tuba's provenance is here.
$900 + Shipping

Re: SOLD: Either One of Two Eb Tubas
The Martin is sold pending payment. In view of the fact that a small CC I ordered some time back is now on the bus headed to me, I'm open to going ahead and selling the Accord as well.
