Downsizing horns, so...for sale - MW 3225 model Ursus 4/4 - 5/4 CC, silver plated tuba. 5 valves, 4 piston, 1 rotor configuration. 1-year old, no dents, dings, etc. Maybe a surface scratch or two. Virtually indistinguishable from new (if you can find one). Vented valves, slide pull stops, choice of MW bag, custom new Cronkite brown/blue Cordura bag (with custom pocket instead of that weird snap-on music pocket), or new Altieri bag in black with green lining. If you have played these horns, you know they play big for their size with a real strong low register. Probably the best characteristic of these instruments is that they play very in-tune, although the 1/3/4 tuning slides are all very accessible and fast (an intentional design characteristic, though I am not sure why).
$12,000 - Located in Washington, D.C. Certainly available for play-testing but will not ship (unless you want to buy up-front and pay shipping).
BORE: 19mm / 0.748"
BELL: 45cm / 17.7" :
HEIGHT: 91cm / 35.8"
VALVES: 4 piston steel valves (big valve/front action) :
Bore - valves 1-3: 0.748", 4th valve: 0.787", 5th rotary valve: 0.846" (thumb operated).
SOLD!! MW 3225 Ursus 4/4-5/4 CC For Sale; $12,000

Many apologies for the late reply - the horn has been sold. I recommend it highly - if you can find a used one - they are great. Super in-tune.

What a beautiful looking tuba. I hope the new owner enjoys it.
