Recognized Joe's log house angle and had to make sure it wasn't a scam stealing pics.

Don’t know the seller or anything, but I think these are terrific, all around tubas.

I owned the CC version when I was in tuba skewl (PT-20P). Even though the 3301 is, to me, a "lengthened PT-20P" (mostly because of the long curlicued lead pipe), I think it plays a bit better than the 20P. Great all-around tuba.

I owned the 3302 for several years. A wonderful instrument. Back in 2016, I only paid $3,000 for that tuba. The seller is still asking a fair price for what this is.

Mint condition 4/4 BBb VMI 3301. This horn was purchased by the first known owner in the early 2000s, then sat in the case for about 15 years. It was given a full service by Mid-South Music (TN) before I bought it in 2020 and used it for 4 years in college. College band, low-brass ensemble, symphony orchestra. You name it, it's handled it. It's an absolutely lovely horn. Alas, I've decided that it's time to move on from playing tuba.

I sorry to hear that. I’ve enjoyed your humor over the years. Best wishes!
