Neat tuba.
For $22 shipping, it's not going to look like that for long.

Took me a moment to figure out the seller's location: within 40 miles of Baton Rouge?

Anyhow hope it finds a good home!

(Still a favorite make of mine...)

And it has sold...

If anyone here got it, i'd love to hear what ya think.
(am i full of stuff and nonsense to like these?)

And keep an eye out for a Keefer, Distin, or an older Boosey & Co. 7 mouthpiece...

As far as my tastes in aesthetics/shape go, that Keefer Eb sousie leaves a lot to be desired.

A little too Dr. Seuss-y for a sousaphone.

And very strange that the first and third valves are almost the same length...

Don't forget to add the width of the valve block to your visual estimate. (Isn't that cool how subtle it is?)

Still looks a bit short to me, especially for a three-banger.
The serial number could just fit in Keefer’s range, though.
