Re: Alexander 163 BBb!
That tuba has been listed a couple of times and discussed here before:

The earlier thread discussed some of the issues with that tuba. As someone that owns both a 163 CC and a 163 BBb, I can assure you that there is a fair amount of that tuba that isn't original Alexander. Up to the buyer if they care or not. I'd keep shopping, personally, but anyone interested should try before they buy.
