I have two fantastic instruments for sale

ZO5000 "YorkaZO" 5/4 4v BBb- As described on the Mack Brass website, this is an absolutely amazing instrument. The design of this tuba is based on the Nirschl 4/4 CC tuba. It is effortless to play, the intonation is outstanding and I did not feel the need for a 5th valve when purchasing this instrument. The valves are very smooth and fast and the slides move easier than any other tuba I have owned. It has a very rich and welcoming sound but isn't groggy like other BBb tubas. It is also a fantastic size, perfect for any situation. This tuba was purchased new in March and is in the same condition that I received it in. It came with a small ding in the bottom bow. I thought I would have it a lot longer but I am currently in the process of becoming an exclusive artist with another manufacturer and cannot afford to have two large contrabass tubas.

This is a great, professional instrument-period. I am currently living near Seattle and would prefer to sell to someone within driving distance, however I would be willing to ship at the buyers expense because it has a really nice hard case. Asking $4400.

1969 Elkhart Conn 36K Fiberglass Sousaphone-This is a classic sousaphone in GREAT condition! No cracks in the fiberglass and the valves and slides move great. It is also very light at only 16lbs. It is a fantastic sounding sousaphone that I used for jazz and Balkan brass band gigs when I was living in Phoenix. I have not needed it since joining the Navy so I figured it was time to part with it. $1500 to a seller within a 6 hour drive to Seattle. No shipping.

Images of both instruments can be found here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/ ... sp=sharing

The ZO5000 looks incredible. If I didn't already pull the trigger on a tuba I'm picking up next week, that horn looks/sounds fantastic. Must resist....

that google drive link only goes to one image of the tuba. Could you post a link to a picture of the sousaphone?
