That's one good looking tuba!

Valves are in rough shape but it’s priced okay for a project. Probably a decent CC or BBb to be made with that bell and possibly bottom bow.

I’m wondering if the valveset bloke is selling would work?

What valveset is @bloke selling? I looked around on the forums here and didn't see anything right away.

The bore may be too large on the one I’m selling…
.695”

three valve / top action

not many slide tubes incl.

What's the story on the quilted appearance, on the bow guard?



At first this seemed like it might be original, but at a second look, likely added on top of the original bow guard during a repair, cut along the edges so it could bend around the curve without a lot of forming work.
