Re: Meinl Weston 2145 small valve for sale
These are rare and highly desirable, much more so than the big valve version IMHO.

Re: Meinl Weston 2145 small valve for sale
No. just a different design that, in hindsight, was better. I think MW made a mistake changing to the "Big Valve" set, and now they use it for everything, even when a .750" bore is a bit large for a horn, if it is a piston design, it gets the "Big Valve" valve set. <sigh>
These have a much nicer action and these horns play very well. I did not like the 2155 and have disliked most 2165s I have played (most, not all) but I have never played more than maybe four of these and I liked all of them.
Good luck to Matt to snag a quick sale. I am sure the buyer will really like this tuba.

Re: Meinl Weston 2145 small valve for sale
I’ve only played on 2145 and it was great. It was a small valve version, built in 1992 or so. My 2165 has small valves also. Not much different under the hand then the King valves on my other horn.the elephant wrote: ↑Sun Sep 12, 2021 7:10 pm No. just a different design that, in hindsight, was better.

Re: Meinl Weston 2145 small valve for sale
bump.
Would you except a Boobie with a PT-109 as a trade?
Can this instrument be rebuilt as a sheet-metal rotary instrument?

These are great tubas. I certainly enjoyed mine while I had it. It was sold to a much more capable player than myself!
