Seller says:
That photo of the extra slide doesn't look like it adds enough length to lower it to BBb. I would guess this horn was from the high pitch/low pitch conversion era and that is what the extra slide is for.The tuba is tuned in C with an additional Bb slide.

I can confirm that the Conn was professionally serviced (I saw it on the bench) at Volkweins and also that Ted does good work.

I get that.SteveP wrote: Well, my guess (because this is my situation) is that they have been playing BBb and Eb for sixty years and just don't want to learn CC fingerings. Old dogs can learn new tricks but sometimes they just don't want to.
That's why I'll buy a BBb tuba, not a CC that plays like a BBb

There's been some discussion about the extra slide. It certainly looks like it could add 24" to the open bugle. I think it's indeed a CC/BBb conversion slide.
The $64 question I would have is... Will it really play well as both a CC and a BBb tuba?

Meh, it will go for what it goes for. The last few minutes are meaningful, the first few days not so much. Could go for $3,074.00 or ten grand.ValveSlide wrote:Anyone bidding with 5 DAYS to go on this is being less than smart. Unless you're ready to lay down some huge number in your bid, you're just running it up.
Of course, that may be someone's goal...

Whoa!
The BBb tuning slide looks like it has a tuning slide! Would that be, like, a telescopic tuning slide?
That's profound.
Not sure i can quite wrap my head around that.

Wasn't me either...
Seems we're all surprised at how low it went for.
As much as I love what the Simonetti Collection is, and does; I really hope they didn't win this one.
