I am asking opinions on a tuba I purchased. I is a Yamaha YBB-321 circa late ‘70 to early ‘80 serial number 005054?
My question to all you tubist is the bottom bow and riser from the bottom bow is smashed really concave. I have priced replacement parts and labor at a few local repair shops and it comes to well over $2000.00, should I repair it or play it the way it is? I cannot download pictures because I do not know how to reduce them to less than 200Kb, a little help for that would be nice, too.
Severely dented YBB-321
