Lost my job about 2 months ago, so this MUST go.

Probably won't drop the price it again. But it really has to go.

Are trade requirements lowered proportionately?

Just curious...

A tuba xenomorph?

(Er... for those of you unfamiliar with the term... here is a parody of the original source material: )

Notice the hole by the bell receiver, probably for hanging on a wall. Asked seller about it, and it was apparently for a strap? Unclear how that worked... Y'know, strap it to your waist, go about your day... I still think digital watches are a pretty cool idea (unlike coming down from the trees ...

Sigh... Too little too late. Any idea how much it went for?

Sorry i don't pay too close attention.

Buescher?

I can't see the telltale fin, but that is most commonly the make i've seen with the leadpipe going to second valve.

And i can at least imagine that is a blurry Buescher engraving on the bell, too.

I wonder if i can talk a friend into grabbing it...

How many medals of honour did it get?

https://www.ebay.com/itm/335653712778 4878 puts it late 1919 or 1920 per the serial number list on hornicopia. Have yet to hear back from seller to confirm there is a piston in the second valve. Pretty safe assumption that this is an Eb. (Hornicopia has 2 pics, and mistakenly says the BBb is an Eb ...

I should, shouldn't i? I imagine the answer is boring and practical. Whereas it is more fun to soeculate. It is a little pillow so the player can micronap while waiting for their entrance. Or an oxygen mask for playing at altitude. Please put your own on before assisting the trumpet section? Or an ...

Are there non-BBb Del Negro tubas?

I kinda assume there is redundancy in the subject line...

Should i post WTB: Eb Del Negro Holton in the appropriate forum*?

Or would that just be a waste of internet space?





*that would likely be the bad ideas one.

Not to be confused with the JW Richardson model on Lee Stofer's site: Then https://tubameister.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/fredpfaff2-cropped1-315x420.png and now (well, a more recent then at least) https://tubameister.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Richardson-Model-Holton-Fred-Pfaff-011-cropped ...

What's the yellow bag for?

Quinn also has a Boston (cornet?) in his garage sale this time round as well, which may not really be worth mentioning here, except by way of my Boston Tuba Christmas conceit in years past has been to play a Boston tuba.

The address on the bell on Sudbury street, i believe is now a police station.

Always been a bit intrigued by these. Way-way northeast Connecticut is basically a suburb of Worcester and I used to live there, about a half hour away from the city. I would go to the Worcester Union Station* to ship tubas via Greyhound back when that option was available to us. Always an ...

You failed to mention "top action rotary" as perhaps more interesting than the holes...



As well, as the obligatory "bat man!" at the end of the subject.

"Yes! a fiendishly diabolical instrument, Robin"

90odd posts in less than a week, and i ain't amongst them? I been slipping. (Also, sometimes a sign it'll get locked...) In response to the subject (without getting distracted yet by the content, i'll ask "What sound?" before i try to answer, but just 'cause i like the works of Phil Ochs, i'll let ...

One is Euro and one is standard? That sounds like a feature! Unless of course they are cleverly designed to not work unless you have one of each. Last June i took public transit to a parade with 2 sousaphones using king bits, and was sad to realize i had grabbed 3 neckside bits and 1 mouthpieceside ...

But i dredged this thread up check in. Someone asked me about Eastman necks? And i got no idea, and i imagine the chart above predates Eastman sousaphones.

Any wisdom i should pass on to the enquirer?

I am looking for a neck and bits for a King model 1271 Sousaphone silver plated. Does anyone have any leads where i could buy used? or also new ? Thanks Too lazy to look at the moment (though not too distracted to miss this post is a year old, so likely a solved problem, but that thinking only ...

I'm on it (ie I'll buy if they will ship). It's a Martin Medium Eb. They made 3v (duh) and 3+1 but I'd be happy to have a 4v. Thanks, saw all the tubing guts around the back and just assumed BBb. Well... if ya hold the 4th valve down, isn't it kinda a BBb? That's how bugle valves worked in some ...
