Floating this out there
I'm closing in on 70 years old and have a beautiful King 4 rotary valve tuba that has gotten too big to schlep anywhere. it's raw brass, and one of the earlier ones with the straight up and down valves ( not the later slightly slanted valves). It has the original bell front and a Kanstul raincatcher and plays Really well. I'd like to trade it for a VMI 101. There are no current dents and the valves were done shortly before I got it. It has always drawn alot of comments about the sound and pitch and if I was going to do any more orchestral playing it would absolutely be staying here. So if anyone is interested please shoot me a PM or email and we can exchange pictures etc. All the best to everyone, Ed

Re: Floating this out there
I've got nothing to trade, but sure would like to see it.
My dream has always been to have an American-made rotary tuba. If I can't own the dream, I at least want to look at it!
