Local to me and has been up for quite a while (several months), so price might be negotiable at this point. Great tubas.

When he had the rotation of 3 and 4 reversed he *really* needed to have that tech extend the levers out (or shorten them) to allow the rods to be parallel with the slide tubes. That just plain looks weird.

It would not have taken the tech all that much more time to do this conversion correctly.
