Sorry for the late reply. The tuba was sold locally.

I have this tuba that was found as a decoration in a billiard basement. I thought it was the old Eb B&S tuba that I have been looking for - but it is an F-tuba. Hence, I am selling it again. It is a 4 valve old B&S F-tuba with the one piece bell and a kranz (see pictures). It has the blue enamel ...

Nice that somebody else saw that posting too!

The seller is a Dane, and the tuba is posted for sale locally as well.

Thanks!

Your advice is much appreciated.

I will use this as a learning experience and see how far I can get on my own (before giving up and bringing it to a proper tech).

A little background, I picked up an old typical European 4v small F (A. Vogelweith, Strassburg) in good condition for next to nothing. It is very responsive with unexpected good tuning. BUT, the top of the second rotary valve is broken (see pictures below). This effectively leaves me with a very ...

Yes! But.... I really don't need any tubas, but I would like to own or at least try: - A big old B&S GDR made 4v BBb helicon. I have owned a number of their old F and Eb helicons, and one of the Eb helicons (the only one I still own) is a unicorn. I have owned and played a number of the Czech BBb ...

Hej Marc! I have seen that 104 and thought about it (a lot) but the price seems a little prohibitive.... 5v BBb or CC tubas does not come up for sale a lot here in DK (probably less than one per year?). Maybe I am stating the obvious, but have you asked Ulrik at Brass Centrum what he has lying ...

I have an almost identical horn here in almost new condition (although with another stamp on the bell and an older linkage), and I can attest that this horn is everything that Louis says it is! https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/ojbcj5wl2gkwm3a5k3mxz/2023-10-24-07.52.56.jpg?rlkey ...

I used to do what you describe. An old Conn 14K Sousaphone (and a ProTec sousaphone gig bag) held up extremely well for me. The brass was (very) thick and did not dent easily. It would pop a few supporting soldering spots roughly every 50th gig, but those were very easy fixes. Valves are still tight ...

Hi All I discovered that I have this mouthpiece, and I will never use it. If any one of you see any value in it, let me know what it is worth to you, and we will figure it out. The mouthpiece is situated in Denmark. The good things to say about it is that the rim is in fairly good condition and the ...

The Legoland Brass Band from Billund, Denmark (that I owe most of my playing skills to) is travelling to New York the middle of October. I randomly bumped into their director who asked me if I knew anywhere in New York that would rent the band 3 sousaphones for something like 7-10 days in the middle ...

Sorry, I did not see this post before I posted my post. I know (or at least used to know) the seller. I seem to remember that he bought the horn ~15 years ago at a similar attractive price. So I assume that the price is correct.

I just wanted everyone to know this horn for sale on facebook in Denmark. It is a 5v BBb Rudolf Meinl. I know the seller but have never tried this horn. He is asking just over 2600 dollars (~2400 Euros) for this horn which seems to be a very attractive price! (I have no affiliation with the sale of ...

Do not know about the tuba - but noticed the danish posters in the background!

Velkommen!
