With all the drama surrounding shipping tubas, I thought I’d offer up a few of the ones I have before I cut them up.

These are all the same size and are large enough to hold the largest Eastman models in their hard cases. There’s a good bit of foam in each of them as well. But you’ll need to add ...

That is what Gene is currently referring to as York #2 on the right and his BMB Bb on the left. And he’s also got a cimbasso with him on the tour for Nabucco. All the toys…

This is a true loss and sad news. I found out a few days ago and it was a shock.

Mr. Akins regularly attended major Cincinnati Symphony subscription concerts, and his daughter (a tubist and Executive Director of our May Festival) was routinely trying to get the two of us together after performances ...

Hey folks, I’ll be attending the NAMM show this January 19th-24th and bringing my wife along. We’ll be rehearing and brushing up this coming year’s recital repertoire. If you or anyone you know in the greater Los Angeles area is interested in possibly hosting us for a short 30-minute recital ...

I don’t remember the charge for palletizing. I usually do it myself. It’s nothing more than putting the box on a wooden pallet, and wrapping it with clear plastic wrap to secure it to the pallet. Most times I also have a cardboard “crush cone” mounted on top to ensure nobody gets any ideas about ...

I’ve shipped and received MANY tuba with XPO Logistics. It’ll have to be palletized, but they’ll do it for a charge.

Sold pending funds. Thanks for looking.

I played this orchestration with the US Army Orchestra at the Army Band Tuba/Euphonium Conference in 2019. It is a solid arrangement and great piece for contrabass tuba with orchestra.

Price drop to $10,000USD
Thanks for looking

Price drop to $10,500 USD

The first piece of advice I give students who are preparing for an orchestra audition is: Don’t play for tuba players. Play for musicians who might actually be on the committee.

Other instrumentalists listen for different things than tubists. Tubists listen for things that they struggle with, and ...

Bump, still available.

Hello, trying to clear out my basement and make room for more stuff…
For sale is a hand-picked Wessex Prokofiev Model 6/4 BBb tuba in silver plate. It has 4 pistons and 1 thumb operated rotor. I selected this tuba from a batch of 4-5 (can’t remember exactly) and have found it to be the best one of ...

Chris has done great things with Buddy Rogers to make it a DESTINATION for tuba and euphonium in an otherwise under-served part of the USA! Glad you could see how much he could do with such a limited space and resources!

The physical dimensions of the 834 are very similar to a MW2155/2000 or Thor, except that the inner branches are closer to the “York” style CC tubas. I’m not sure if that description helps or not. To be clear, the bugle is entirely a Willson “Merlin” that’s just been re-wrapped to take advantage of ...

I’ve been using the Adjustrite chair in my orchestra (Cincinnati Symphony) for 4 years and also have one in my basement for practice. They come in two sizes and to buy the taller option, I believe you have to purchase it directly from Adjustrite. Worth every penny. The stage crew love mine because ...

I saw the buzz about this tuba in the Midwest clinic thread, but didn’t want to step on it. So I thought I’d start this separate thread.

I played two versions of this new model in the factory last October. It’s based on a preexisting bugle that is already great. These are just slightly rewrapped ...

CCC.

I suppose the fossil fuels involved with "recycling" the amount of cardboard here would be justified...since I'd feel better about myself. Maybe I could just purchase some carbon off-set credits.

Hey folks, I've got an Eastman tuba shipping box that's free for the taking. All you need to do is come get it before I cut it up and burn it. I'm in the Northern Kentucky/Cincinnati area. I'd like to have it gone ASAP and won't keep it more than another week or so before it goes on the burn-pile ...

Just finished another Drill Of The Week!!! I Hope you enjoy it!
