ca.1950s 6/4 Melton Kaiser BBb tuba for sale

Post by TheBerlinerTuba »

For sale/Zum verkaufen in Berlin.
A ca. 1950s Melton(Meinl Weston for the Amis) Kaiser BBb tuba. This tuba is HUGE in size and sound. The kind where everyone can feel it even when you are playing softly. It was overhauled about 15 years with a new goldbrass leadpipe, new lacquer/paddles and minibal linkage and is still in excellent used condition.
For those asking how big it really is, I would put it between a Rudolf Meinl Bayeruth 5/4 and the same firm's 6/4 Kaiser.
Bell size 50cm
Bore 21.50mm
Height 120cm

Price: 4500€ with gigbag

I would prefer pickup here in Berlin but due to the current world situation shipping is also no problem and I am happy to help at the buyers expense.
