Lacquer MRP CC Tuba

[TubaGuy345]

Up for sale is a lacquer MRP CC Tuba. I bought this horn used 5 years ago from an amateur player in Minneapolis. I’ve had a lot of success playing this horn with professional groups, such as the Minnesota Orchestra, the Florida Orchestra, and the Naples Philharmonic. I’ve used it successfully in winning some regional orchestras, as well as getting into the Eastern Music Festival, the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra Brass Institute, and the National Orchestral Institute. It’s also the horn I’ve used to get me into my masters and doctorate degrees at the University of Miami.

I’ve had some Tindall mods done to the horn as well as installed a first slide catcher rod, and a Saturn Water Key, as well as having all the valves vented.

I’m looking at selling the horn for $14,500. It comes with a blue B&S Gig Bag. New, these horns are selling for around $17,000. The one reason I’m not asking for more is there is the beginnings of some red rot in the first valve slide which will need to eventually be replaced. I haven’t had any issues with it so far.

I’m selling this horn as I’ve found a silver MRP that fits my playing a little bit better.

I’d prefer not to ship the horn, but would be willing to drive 5 hours from Miami to meet a potential buyer.
