Up for sale is my Yamaha YBb 103 tuba. Key of: BBb
Bore Size: .661" - Tuba Body Size: 3/4 Bell Material Yellow Brass Bell Size 14.4" 3 Pistons/Valves
The Tuba is a good player. Recently serviced with new felts and drain cork.
No major dents, mechanically solid with great compression, all slides are free and function.
Many consider the Yamaha YBb-103 now 30+ years out of production to be a great strolling Tuba for New Orleans TRAD Jazz
as well as one of the most manageable tubas available to students.
These days when I do see one offered for sale the price is upwards of 2k I am asking $1,500. for mine.
