Marzan CC Piston Solo Model Tuba- Price Reduced to $2,800

[Stephen Shoop]

For sale is my 4 valve piston solo model CC Marzan tuba in very good to excellent condition. The horn comes with a nice side loading gig bag that fits it like a glove. I have owned the instrument since 1978. When I was a student at Indiana University, Harvey Phillips borrowed the horn for a week or two. He told me that Fred Marzan used his (Harvey's) as a model for this tuba and wanted to call it the "Phillips model." Several years ago, I had Dennis Houghton (Houghton Horns) replace the original leadpipe with one that is slightly larger. The tuba is located in the Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas area. I prefer not to ship... but the issue is not out of the question. I'm willing to travel a reasonable distance to meet potential buyers. Two pictures are posted on Dan Schultz's (The Village Tinker) Marzan tuba page- http://thevillagetinker.com/Marzan%20Horns.htm" target="_blank" target="_blank" target="_blank" target="_blank. Additional photos available upon request. $3,000 plus shipping.

Nice tuba!

LONG ago, I played in a community band where another player used one of these "small" Marzan tubas. A nice-sized CC tuba (not too big or too small) and a very nice sound. No clue why Willson doesn't still make a tuba of this size (ok, they do, the model 4400... but it's grossly unpopular). Anyone looking for a smaller (but not Yamaha-small) CC tuba should give this a serious look.

PS -- anyone who doesn't know Steve, he's a professional, a great player, and a great person.

Thanks for the kind words Brett.

Nice horn. I'm surprised to see you giving it up.

[Stephen Shoop]

Ha! I am blessed to currently own (and play) two Miraphone CC 186s, a Miraphone CC 188, and B&S F. Time to thin the herd!

..... and the 1920s era Conn rotary BBb/CC! I am blessed. Time to thin the herd!

Very rare horn, this instrument would be great for someone who appreciates a solo sized CC.

[Stephen Shoop]

Yes.... very nice tuba for solo and small ensemble (brass quintet and/or tuba-euphonium quartet). Sweet tone.

There are several horns on Dan's site. Is this the rotary or piston horn? Thanks, Phil

[Stephen Shoop]

My Marzan has four piston valves and appears near the bottom of Dan's Marzan page. It was photographed sitting on my kitchen counter. Very sweet horn... and in excellent condition. Comes with soft gig bag. I would be happy to send additional pictures.
