Very nice,
Those go for quite a bit more on this side of the pond

Does anyone hold the +1 down to play it as an F tuba?

[TucsonTubaTooter]

No, but I guess you can… that’s not really the point of these though. It would sound very far away from an actually F tuba

Most that were sold here were sold to schools.
I wouldn't buy one in the USA ($14000, $1400, or $140) without looking at the valves in-person.
...How 'bout in the UK...' some for sale with old leaky valves...??

========================================
re:
someone's else joke comment - holding down 4th valve...
That would be an FF tuba.

Its "emasculator" is intact. So it has that going for it...
