I’ve got an idea for an instrument but need someone to build it for me. I would prefer some more local to Phoenix, AZ…

This is the second or third year in a row I’ve heard of some guy in Northern AZ (north of Flagstaff) that builds tubas.

Anyone have his contact info?

Otherwise, anyone on here ...

Ok - I should not be on here given I haven’t played anything in almost a year, but my word, how did you come across a helicon with the original case?

Any chance I could complete my set of original Buescher helicons with original cases?

You’re unlikely to find a 4v King Jumbo, most - if not all - were built as a 3v and only for a few years until HN White superseded it with the King Giant.

I think only two of the 4v Jumbos were made - we don’t have actual records, only some visual and word of mouth records. One is owned by ...

Practically never see these! I'm close by and could, probably maybe, fit this into my car. The seller has two available.

After a bit of a hiatus, and selling the vast majority of my instruments to stay afloat, I'm now in a position to reacquire some oddities. In order of likelihood...

1. First to find is a King BBb rotary tuba - preferably one of the Pit tubas. I desperately miss the silver beast I sold a long while ...

After a rather long hiatus, I’m back to playing…

While at the Flagstaff, AZ TubaChristmas, I heard that there’s a guy in the area that builds frankentubas - anyone know of this person and can get me in connect with them?

I have some designs in mind, but no area to work on them.

Just inserted, I was going to use the tenon off of the recording bell.

Been a while and have done zero playing, so it’s time to move on with some hobbies… I have a King 1240 that I bought from someone else on here last year or this year - I can’t remember. Anyway, picked it up and it’s sat around collecting dust. Thought I would get back into playing, but it just hasn ...

Microsoft paint... crop and scale.

BBb was only in .750"

I owned this horn before selling it to Tyler. I have some of-questionable-quality videos of it somewhere.

Desca - had one after the percussionist told me to get one. Works great!


How tall does it get? I didn't see that spec on their site.


I looked to and don't see it listed but there are a couple of pictures with the owner standing in front of what looks to be a ...

It's almost tall enough for me and I'm 6'4". The problem is at that height, it very wobbly. I get that they're trying to reduce ...

Auction only (I try not to post those, fwiw). Looks like it needs a valve job. Not sure who can do that now that Anderson has stopped offering that valve service.

You can build that but not a stand??

Yea, come on @Yorkboy, you can't leave us hanging with this horn porn!

Yea, it was a pharmacy for a while, now it's back to normal. Maybe a hosting issue or some mix up on the server side.
