St. Pete & Case for sale (SOLD)

Postby mammoth2ba » Wed Jul 04, 2012 1:29 pm

St. Petersburg 202N 4-rotary-valve BBb Tuba with custom-fitted UniTec hard case.

$x,xxx.xx plus shipping, or pick it up in western Michigan and enjoy a day (or longer....lodgings and meals not included :( ) at the nearby sandy Lake Michigan beach. No extra charge in the event of beautiful sunset. 8)

Tuba and case are both in very good condition. Current new price for the case alone is $550 (will not be sold separately from tuba).

Of the St. Pete tubas I have played, this one has the lightest and fastest valve action.....very similar to a Miraphone 191 I owned. Valves are aligned and have new bumpers. Intonation is excellent at A=440. Nickel-plated finish (silver color).

Tuba has some minor cosmetic imperfections but no significant dents. Case has steel handles, recessed rubber wheels, and steel reinforced corners. No mouthpiece included.

Bell rim has custom-fitted hard plastic protection strip (easily removable).

If interested, please reply by email or private mail. Thanks! :)

I've seen this horn. It's indeed a nice example of a St. Pete tuba. I took one very small dent out of it a couple of years ago and it did not show any evidence of ever having any abuse or repairs. Good tuba.

If I was looking for a St. Pete.... I'd buy this one myself!

Go look at it on a Thursday and maybe Andy would allow a trial 'spin' at Pentwater!
