Schiller Mini F - Eb tuba on ebay

Post by musicman26 »

Could anyone please tell me about the quality, or lack of quality, of Schiller tubas? There is an F - Eb Mini tuba by Schiller just listed on ebay. I realize there will be tuning problems with the Eb slide in the horn, but I'm just wondering right now, not buying. Thanks. WK

The short version is it is very good for what it is.....and Jim Laabs music (the only place selling the Schiller branded version.....which is the same as the others) sells it at the cheapest price...if there is a make offer option, you should be able to get it for $900-$930 with case, Eb slide and mouthpiece (which is not good).

....and do as Kiltie says and search...lots of good info...
