Technically an auction but it has a BIN of $7,800 so I hope this is allowed, especially as it's an interesting and rare tuba.

This is about 30 minutes away from me and local pickup only, so I could help arrange pickup if anyone is interested.

Custom lead pipe makes me think Bob Pallansch?

The replacement leadpipe looks quite a bit longer than the original. That, combined with the "C/Bb" in the subject and description would definitely give me pause if I were interested (but I'm not).

I mystifies me that anyone might spend $x,xxx on something with a vague one line description, or that a seller might expect someone to.

[arpthark]

Yes.

I am local enough to this and a just-decent-enuff toobuh player that I can give a fair assessment if anyone is interested/curious and wants me to help negotiate a purchase or hand-off.

New ad on ebay. Is the price the same as first time?

[arpthark]

Yup. Starting bid at $6,500 or a Buy-It-Now of $9,250.

Too lazy to track it down at the moment, but there is also a BBb in the greater Boston area that has been on ebay for a while...
