Hello TubaForum,

I'm selling my Wisemann 900 5/4 CC tuba. The horn is currently located in Troy, Michigan, but it will be moving with me to the East Coast (Norfolk, Connecticut) next week. It will be back in Michigan in mid-August if no one buys it before then. Asking for $6,500, but I'm willing to negotiate. I would prefer not to ship, but I'm willing to drive long distances or meet the buyer halfway.

More information about this horn:

- This tuba is a copy of the B&S PT-6.

- Chem cleaned 2 months ago and hasn't been used much since. All maintenance and repair work done by Kevin Powers at Michigan Musical Instrument Services.

- Some denting on the bottom bow, which is visible in the photos. All cosmetic, no effect on intonation/playability and not visible while performing.

- Willing to include a Gard gig bag for an extra $200.

I played this horn all through my undergrad at the University of Michigan, and it remains one of the best CC tubas I've ever played. Hear the horn in action on Mahler 6 (hammer drop at 1:05:50) and on Daniel Zlatkin's "Portals" (Low brass excerpt at 7:55).
