I have this tuba that was found as a decoration in a billiard basement. I thought it was the old Eb B&S tuba that I have been looking for - but it is an F-tuba. Hence, I am selling it again.
It is a 4 valve old B&S F-tuba with the one piece bell and a kranz (see pictures). It has the blue enamel badge - although somebody has re-installed it at a 90 degree angle. The tuba has the same bore through all valves and they are in great shape. The third valve slide is stuck, the others are moving freely. Before I got it, somebody has been a little too aggressive when freeing some of the slides, and the second and fourth valve slides are slightly out of round at the very top. It plays wonderful and is fairly open compared to my older 5v Symphonie (that has the graduated bore through the valves).
It basically has the same desirable sonic properties as the old B&S tubas. So if you are in need of a one-piece old B&S bell in good condition for repairs, have a suitable 5th rotor lying around or want to get at good start at playing F-tuba - this tuba might be a worthy candidate for you.
Price is $1000.
There is no case or mouthpiece and the tuba is located in Denmark (the small country on top of Germany). I am open to shipping if we can work out an agreement that suits both parties.

I just saw that there is a proper tuba flightcase for sale in Denmark for ~$250. I can arrange to buy this flightcase and modify it for shipping the F-tuba if the buyer want to do it.
