It's worth whatever somebody's willing to pay for it. Appraisals don't always translate to what the market will bear.
Put it for sale on Ebay with an extremely well written ad and lots of detailed pictures with no reserve and find out (what Mike Lynch is willing to pay for it).

I think you should donate it to me. You could claim it on your taxes!! I'm a non-profit BBb tuba player-wannabe(stuck in a CC tuba world), who is pining for your horn, but needs to sell almost all of the brass in my house to pay off all the other stuff that I haven't paid for yet.
If you CAN'T just straight up GIVE it to me, I'll have to wait until the new owner lets me toot on it, just so he/she can get me to stop asking,"So, can I try your tuba?!"
(I wish I was a trust-fund baby!)

P.S. "tax deductable!!!!"

Re: On another note... the mouthpiece
I've got one that's quite similar. The only marking on it is "KINGROSS". I've yet to hear a credible story as to its origin.Tachikoma wrote: Have you guys seen a mouthpiece like this?
