FS: Tuxedo tuba bag -- 42" x 18"

I just picked up a beautiful VMI 103 BBb tuba that came in this bag. I have a new Götz bag that fits perfectly so this one needs to go. It is somewhat rough but still gets the job done. I think you could get tubas up to 42" tall and bells up to 18" in diameter in it. Perhaps a 19" bell? https: ...

Re: Best way to clean tarnished silver mouthpieces?

Re: Yamaha 321 5th valve

Just a note: I have the Kanstul-made YEP-321 euphonium plug-in 5th valve that Horn Guys used to sell. It's great.

Oh, I forgot to mention. My helper in this photo shoot was Yuki, our new male, 6-month-old Orange Tabby. He is quite a character, that's for sure!...

FS: Wessex Champion Eb comp Tuba

Here is a beautiful Wessex "Champion" Eb tuba. This is a 3+1 compensating British-style bass tuba that was owned by a local low brass doubler who rarely used it. It is in MINT condition and everythings works perfectly. Valves are great, all slides moves nicely, and the horn is super-clean and ready ...
