I know this horn well. Seeing it in such pristine shape makes me wistfull, but I am glad it is being set for another half century (or more) of productive use. I can vouch for those valves--they're like silk. Good luck with the sale.

Bump, mostly out of habit. Besides, bloke recently observed that most listings here end in a sale :)

Here's the thing for your eclectic holiday buying.

I might include the nearly new Miraphone gig bag, in case that helps. It fits this tuba perfectly (with upright bell), and it's too big for my other tuba.
