SOLD: Meinl Weston 2260RA "W. Brandstotter" F Tuba $9,000

Post by savebruck »

Hello! I want to sell my 2260RA F tuba. I purchased this horn in 2015 and I am the second owner.

The tuba is 6/4 size with 6 rotary valves; 5th and 6th valve inside of the 4th valve slide. It is excellent condition with two minor blemishes on the top side of the bell and the bottom bow.

It plays even throughout the registers. It is a perfect solo and orchestral horn. I highly recommend this horn to anyone looking for a F tuba.

I am located in NYC. I'm okay with shipping as I've had good experiences with services like uShip but the cost will fall onto the one purchasing the tuba.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Here are some photos in a google drive:

I'm not entirely sure. I never even considered it. I can post some better/closer pictures if that would help you.

If this is the MW2260RA that was in the Buffet showroom in NYC back in 2013, it's an EXCELLENT horn!! I played on it for almost 2 hours and loved it!! Excellent low register, beautiful color, excellent pitch.

What a beautiful F tuba. The dependent 5th & 6th just might be a very practical solution. I need to win the lottery (like everyone else).

These are GREAT F tubas. Sound, pitch, playing characteristics. I loved mine. I had to sell it because I could not get used to the 5th & 6th valves being DEPENDANT (old dog, new tricks). I have a former student who learned F on one of these, and he sounds great on it.
