Where are you located?

Minneapolis

Now $675

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.

Nice tuba.

I miss old 1291... I honestly think that on paper and in photos, it's pretty unexciting. But that tuba put out more sound with less effort than almost any other tuba I've owned. Great valves, too.

Can I hold you to it...?

1975 and plastic ball seems right to me. I agree about the leather guard, but given the condition of the rest of the tuba, I'd be willing to bet it's just fine. We'll (try to) see!

Ooh, 5th valve and all!

How much?

That escalated quickly.

I used a Rudy Meinl 1 (RM1 -- not the RM1-dot) on it, and it was magical. The combo was so good, I gave the mouthpiece to Sam when I returned the tuba to him, because I couldn't stand to think the two were separated. Before Sam sold the Rudy, he sent the RM 1 back to me. I can't remember if I still ...

I saw a video once, that compared Americans trying to pronounce something with an umlaut to Germans trying to say the word squirrel. It was pretty funny

10-second German lesson... pronounce only the second vowel:

ie --> e
ei --> i

(And there are probably exceptions)

I was taught to remember it by the phrase:
Eisenhower's niece

Which is ridiculous, because "niece" isn't a German word.

Music and Arts has them all in stock...

Goodness these have gotten expensive

Where you been?

Same-same. Just been taking a break.

Zoom in and they are all distinctly visible. :laugh: Now that... THAT is funny. You'd better be careful about being funny. You're going to get called out for trolling, and accused of running off all of the titled people within academia. :smilie8: Also, we're not supposed to crack jokes about ...

Your kid is getting big quickly!

Now $750

Local pickup only (Minneapolis).

Limited time only, or it gets traded in.

Thanks!

PS, the mouthpiece in the photos is no longer available

Me: I hope they finally made a Google map with all the locations.

Me: Well... it's a start.

My initial thought -- and I mean this with full respect and compassion -- is that you need to front-load a lot of your playing now, while things are "better." Unfortunately, it's a degenerative disease, and although the speed of degradation varies, it still only goes in one direction. Jeez, this all ...

Don't overthink it, just take the dang day off!
