Rudy Meinl F Tuba-$4000 SOLD

Post by Sasha Johnson »

I'm helping a colleague sell this horn. It is a 1980's vintage Rudy Meinl F.

He left the business some years ago, so the instrument has not been played regularly for a while.

Unlacquered, new linkages and includes a Reunion Blues leather gig bag which is in great shape.

Classic German sound, very responsive in the upper register, and nice and open in the low. I find it closer to an older Alexander than my B&S, both in sound and response.

Price is $5200 Canadian Dollars or $4000 USD, which seems like a very nice price for a horn of this quality.

I tried to attach a photo to this post, but you can view additional photos here: https://iangmcintoshphotography.zenfoli ... udy-f-tuba" target="_blank" target="_blank

Currently located in Toronto, and I can arrange for it to come to Montreal, or East Coast USA. Please PM me for more information.
Thanks,
Sasha Johnson

As I've had a few inquiries about the tuba from people who don't want to sign in with email addresses, I've removed the requirement. The gallery is now unrestricted.

Hi Sascha,

Is there any chance he would be interested in a trade for a Vintage Conn CC tuba?

Thanks,

Hello Frank,

The owner is no longer in the music business and not playing anymore, so I’m pretty sure he doesn’t want any trades.

Thanks,
Sasha
