LOL...funny little Russian E-flat tuba

Post by bloke »

A suburban Nashville lady bought this off of eBay for her (3...?? 4...??) year old daughter.

The linkage was mangled, the bell was folded, the slides were stuck, etc., etc., etc...

I got it playing, and will charge her for an hour.

Somehow - though I have to get it back to her...and I ain't driving to Nashville.

The mouthpiece is very bad, very small, and rattles in the receiver.
As can be heard, I need more talent in order to easily play in the low range with this instrument.

If that tuba is still functional after the little person is done playing with it down the road, i might consider buying it from her...... might....
