We've (Mid-South Music, Inc.) been holding it for a local college student for months (allowing them to get their scholarship and other money lined up) but (and - LOL - I started a thread about this sort of behavior, but whatever) AFTER they told me that they now have all their funding lined up and AFTER I then sent them a link to pay (guess what?...yup), they backed out.
(I just don't get "fantasy buying", but whatever...)...so it's available again.
The hard case is (OK: heavy, but) nearly as amazing as the tuba.
No...You won't ever see me checking tubas as airline luggage, but - with this case - someone else might (??)
If anyone needs reminding, I can take actual pictures of one or more of the pistons, to remind of the superb level of workmanship.
I have been planning to do a video demo with it, but it's difficult to find the time to stop and do that.
I may still do it, but - otherwise - I'm ready to let it go for a little above cost, because I've grown weary of seeing it, seeing it reminds me of how (ref: above) I've been treated, and I'm also tired of being SUPER careful with it, so the outfit remains in perfect/new condition.
p.m. for a price...and no, this is not some $3K-bucks loosey-goosey rattle-trap poor-alignment looks-like-a-tuba thing, so it's a bit more than that...but you'll save about half over (EVEN) a "used" price...and yes, this IS one of those "easy-to-play-the-low-range" tubas.
Here's JP's full blurb on the instrument:

We'll need the buyer to cover shipping...I'm willing to Greyhound as long as the buyer agrees that - once handed off to Greyhound - the tuba is the buyer's property and responsibility. (Personally - though tubas have wandered around in Greyhound never-never-land a couple of times, prior to finally reaching their destinations - I've never had one damaged nor stolen, when I've shipped with them.)
