FOUND: WTB F Tuba

Post by mm_an »

Hello all, I am looking for a deal on an F tuba. Not that picky, but I like the B&S PT-10/15 and tubas that play and feel like those two. Wont mind a piston F, either. Budgets a little low at $3,500 so I know I won't be getting too much, but I just wanna put it out there that I'm on the market. Thank yall

Edit: Found what I was looking for. Thank you all

Dillon's lists a 5 valve rotary F @ $3495. I know nothing at all about this tuba and it's currently out of stock, but you could contact them about incoming. Here - https://cdn.shoplightspeed.com/shops/61 ... /image.jpg.
Good luck in your search!

As long as we're posting cheap chinese Fs, thomann has what looks like a yfb 621 copy for 2500 if youre willing to take one for the team. People have said good things about the clones of this horn but not much about this particular distributor.

I have one of these for sale (not from Thomann though, bought it straight from China) for $2,150.

(Last I checked, Thomann is unable to ship tubas to the USA.)

I "took one for the team," as it were, addressed the issues that JB quality control missed, and it plays really well now.

Pretty much the opposite of a German rotary F, but a fun tuba nonetheless.
