Maybe WTS: Martin Medium Eb

Post by bort2.0 »

I haven't totally decided yet, but would sure be easier if I knew someone was interested. :laugh:

Might be selling my 1922 Martin Medium Eb... 3 front action valves, 17" bell, and 32" tall. Bore is something like .656" Satin silver finish, with bright silver accents. In really great shape, and plays great. Takes a small shank mouthpiece. 100% ready to go.

Beautiful tuba, sweet sound, and a great "very medium" size that's easy to hold and transport.

Comes with a Miraphone gig bag in ok shape, that fits the horn pretty well (a lil tight in the bell, but good otherwise).

I really like this tuba, and have many future plans for it, or, just had planned to hold onto it for a long time. But, it's the only tuba I have, and it's not really fitting any needs right now (not using it, and when I do need a tuba, this really isn't it). So... I may be better off just selling and getting something more suitable.

I'll try to post a photo later today.

Let me know if you're interested. No promises just yet, but trying to see if there's any interest. :tuba:

I'm interested in the bag, if you're willing to part out the package.

I'd buy the tuba, and begrudgingly let arpthark have the bag...

Will it fit in the trunk of a Miata?

Thanks, everyone... sounds like I'm all set, if/when the time comes.

@jtm, I'm going to need to borrow a Miata for a while to find out. Such things can't be determined very quickly either, it takes a solid few weeks. :laugh:

Brett,
Just zip over to Luther Mazda in Brooklyn Center with your Martin, they're nice folks (I've been there) and would let you give it a try.
With 11 yrs in the car biz, believe me - I've had weirder requests.
Good luck!

I was walkin' to a tuba xmas rehearsal, and got asked by a dealership to come in and play a tune. What goes around, comes around, or somethin'.
