Vintage CC project -Sold or rather Traded!

Post by Frank Ortega »

Here is the perfect, almost complete, Vintage CC project!

It's a Boston BBb body cut to CC with a Yamaha Bell. It's in perfect condition, and bare brass.

With it, I have a 4 valve Boehm and Meinl BBb valve set (.750 bore) with slides that are not as pretty, but tight.
All that needs to happens is to have the valve slides cut and installed. Wa-la! CC tuba!

I'm asking $2000.00 OBO for all of the parts.

PS this horn is nearly identical to my 1918 Conn "Donatelli" New American CC tuba.

Thanks,
Frank

Can you include a picture of the valve set? Does this have bracing to mount the valves to the body?

The valves aren't pretty, but they are tight in the casings.
