This might be the most "cartoon tuba" looking tuba I've ever seen.

After loaning this tuba out for several months, it is available again. And seven months later, I've gained some skills that I wouldn't be afraid to use on this thing to get it looking a little bit better.

$450 plus shipping (likely expensive, tall tuba) or pick up in CT.

If you were local to me I’d get it to play at Dallas’ tuba Christmas event!

Bump. I was finally able to get this back from the person who was borrowing it, so apologies to everyone who inquired and was on hold.

Thanks everyone for the interest but I have decided to hang onto this thing for projects. I apologize for not updating the ad.
