C.G. Conn 52J 4/4 CC Tuba *Price Reduced* $5200

Post by Bhigbee »

Price: 5200.00 will consider reasonable offers
Model: Conn 52J
Size: 4/4
Valves: 5 valves, 4 piston, 1 rotary

Bought new in 2011. Valves aligned and vented by Alan Baer in 2017. It is in great condition, with a few very minor only cosmetic dents. Easy to reach the slides, and it has a larger sound than it looks. Additional pictures and a video of it being played available upon request. Excellent horn for a college/graduate school music student.

Comes with an Altieri gig bag, and a hard case.

Located in Western NY.

That's a really good looking tuba. :tuba:

2011? I wonder what year they stopped making them. This must been quite late in the production of them. Neat!

Those are great tubas. I bought mine from a retired Navy guy in San Diego. Perfect condition, $3,300. Played it about one year then sold it to a guy in New Jersey, $4,500. Shipped on AMTRAK, on its own pallet, cross-country from Berkeley CA to New Jersey for $95. Buyer picked it up at a large train station and whisked it over to NYC where Alan Baer tweaked it a bit. Very satisfied buyer, Very satisfied seller.

Alan Baer worked on this one as well. It’s a great tuba.

I know this was posted for sale several months ago, but I don't see that it has been sold. Does it still happen to be available?
