FS: Mel Culbertson "Neptune" 6/4 CC Tuba SOLD
PRICE DROP
For Sale…
VMI/Neptune Mel Culbertson 5198 6/4 CC Tuba
Selling my Mel Culbertson Neptune. Sadly, it does not get used all that much anymore and I no longer need it. There are a few dings and scratches on the bottom bow and the bell. There are also some spots where the lacquer has worn off on the bell and the first valve slide. Otherwise, the horn plays great. Huge, dark sound!
I am asking $7,000. I am willing to entertain other offers. I am not interested in a trade. The horn comes with a well-worn pro-tech gig bag. The horn is located in downtown Los Angeles.
If interested, send a PM or email at andy@theabels.org" target="_blank" target="_blank (email is preferred - I will respond quicker)

I’ve played this horn and it is quite good. If you’re looking for a PT6P on steroids...this is your horn!
Good luck with the sale!

I was going to buy your tuba, but I don't like how your toes look.
