Sold
Circa 1909 Holton 3 Valve Eb Tuba Silver with a 19” bell. $1,100
When horns were horns! Serial #316xx
Antique. There is no case included.
It is my understanding that York made these for Holton.
It is over 100 years old, so there are some minor dings, but nothing significant.
Plays great. My former teacher borrowed this from me in the 90s and performed on it with the PIttsburgh Symphony when playing such pieces as the Bydlo, the Bear, or Berlioz.
2 modifications I made:
Low pitch slide brought up to modern pitch
Receiver changed to accept an american shank mouthpiece.
Here is a link to hundreds of pieces of sheet music and recordings (solos, duets, quartets, methods mouthpieces, CDs).

If at first you don't succeed, skydiving's probably not for you.

It is $1,100.
I made it bold now so that it is more obvious.

Curious to know who your former teacher was? I studied with David McCollum when he was the main sub back in the late 70’s / early 80’s.

Re: FS Eb Tuba, Method Books, Music, Mouthpieces, Recording
To the 2 questions. I wasn't using a tuba stand in this video. It was still there from when I was practicing my CC. It is a Hercules tuba stand. I also have a DEG that I usually use.
If you meant on the wall, those are StringSwings. Great way to safely store the horns.
If you meant the music stand, that is an iPad Pro on a Hercules Tab Grab, mounted onto a Pinnacle base. The tab grab isn't quite big enough to hold the large iPad Pro, so I modify them. I have mine and I have done a few for friends.
My teacher was Sumner Erickson. He took the PSO gig from 1981-2004
I knew Dave pretty well at the time. In my day he was teaching at WVU and Frostburg and playing first tuba in River City Brass Band. I think that he recently relocated to Philly, but I am not positive. We haven't crossed path in a couple of years.
