Schenkelaars Tuba

Post by Jacobs73 »

I got a tuba from my uncle who has died. I want to sell it but I have no idea what it is worth?

It is a Schenkelaars Tuba (see photo's)

I hope to hear from somebody.

Any luck?

Or update?

Oh yeah, and where are ya selling from (if you are considering selling)

(Sorry for such a late response, i'm not as thorough on this site as i could be.)

With the electrical tape and 3 valves it feels like a project and not necessarily a high end instrument. If i had to assign value, my kneejerk with 3 valve bbb tubas i know nothing about is $500 (and maybe $250 for an eb?) but a thought years old, and mainly just a starting point for a discussion.

If you are in Europe, you stand a better chance of an informed price based on make, as in the US i don't think these are known at all.

I only know the make due to having come across a Dayton Band Instrument Company tuba (DayBICo), and looking up that they imported Schenkelaars and marketed them as theirs. I liked the DayBiCo, so i'm at least interested, having heard the name.
