This Horn is made up from a Holton 345 Body and a Melton piston Fafner Valve set. It is physically and sonically HUGE. The pistons feel amazing, and the slides are super smooth when greased up properly. I’m looking to get $5,500 for the horn with an Alteri Gig Bag, but i’m open to offers. Im located in Statesboro, Ga and will ship at the buyers expense.

I am not sure whose it was originally. I know it's been in the south east for a few years now though.

Nope. But virtually same concept. Mine was mostly smoothed by time satin silver with a silver Meinl Weston valve set. Great sound, lot of fun, challenging to steer at times.

Re: Holton/Melton 6/4 BBb-$4,250
A few years ago, at SCRTEC 2015 in osu ( I believe it was Vurl Bland who had it at his Tuba Traders booth) I played a 345 BBb that made me want to drop CC in favor of it. I think I offered the Meinl Weston 182 I was playing at the conference for trade on the spot, but he didn't take me up on that ):
Anywho, they're great horns. Good luck with sale!

Yeah, this price is pretty ridiculously low for anyone needing an earth mover.

This would be a backhoe of tubas?
