WTB: Conn Short Action Valve Tuba Fully Restored

Post by feinstei »

I have a nostalgic desire to have a Conn Short Action Valve tuba (20J, 22J, etc etc etc) with an upright bell just like I played at Interlochen. If anyone has one fully restored, please contact me. Now that I'm a veterinarian and not a starving high-school student, I will pay $$$ for a fully restored horn... Remember, upright bell only..... Don't care about the number of valves, as long as it's 3 or more.... Thanks!
