Since my, er, crash, I've come to love my 184 ensemble horn since I can't really fill my symphony horns any more. No complaints.
Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?

Wow, look at all the comments!

Yes, the low range on this tuba can be pretty loud.



A 184 is a popular choice for a solid all around tuba. Actually, the first instrument I ever owned was one of these.

Priced fairly indeed.

I am sure it is priced fairly but until I sell my antique I can't afford fairly.

Unless you live in my neighborhood where the covenants you sign when you move in prohibit yard sales. This is apparently becoming more common.

1. I can have it packaged and shipped it anywhere and anyway you want, as long as you are willing to pay for it.

2. If anyone (Monty included) wants the instrument, I'll sell it to who ever comes up with the cash first.

Thanks!!

Wow :shock: Great price. I'm surprised someone hasn't snatched this up yet. I'm resisting adding it to the family, but don't know how much longer I can resist.
