Hi everyone!
I would like to consider trading my CC tuba, a Gnagey 6/4 built from Cervey, Martin, and King parts for an Eb horn, preferably front action. Pictures can be sent upon request.
Here are some specifics:
20 inch Cerveny Bell
Martin Bb Wrap
King Valves (first 3)
5th valve rotor (thumb)
In terms of range and intonation, the Horn has a better than usual connection between the high and low range. This is honestly why I’ve kept it for so long, as I can play most of my brass quintet work comfortably on it, unlike other 6/4’s I’ve played.
The usual big tuba intonation quirks: D and Db below the staff are a bit sharp, but 125 and 235 respectively are perfectly in tune and resonant, which I can’t say for all the larger 6/4's I've worked with. Ab below the staff can be a little lower than some are used to, but I’ve learned to keep it in check and it makes for a really smooth and easy low register. While there are some quirks, I really don’t have to pull any slides to make notes work on the fly, the horn stays very consistent.
The horn is located in Austin, TX. I am not considering shipping at the moment, but I'm more than happy to meet halfway. I'll also be at the MWRTEC, SERTEC, and SCRTEC this year and will happily bring this horn along.
