Tiny (you could probably use one of the big Martins for sale on this board as a garage for it) vintage Boosey and Co. 3+1 compensated F tuba from approximately 1923 in fabulous shape (especially considering it's over 80 years old!). The lacquer is in very fine condition.
The pistons and casings have been expertly honed, trued, plated, and refitted by Anderson silver plating so they're BETTER than new. It comes with a worn but serviceable hard case.
It's extremely similar to the Besson F tuba favored by Arnold Jacobs. This is an antique you can play every day!!
I'm selling this little fellow to upgrade to a larger F tuba.
$4,000 US Or best resonable offer.
