FS: York 6/4 CC tuba
Hello, for sale is my York 6/4 CC tuba. Almost the entire horn is original York, even the valves. The horn is very free blowing and has an amazing sound as you can imagine. Unlike most York 6/4 tubas, this one has a large bore independent 5th valve. The valve action is great, and all the slides move well. This was a horn that was built with a lot of care and maintained with love. I believe it was built for Steve Dumain in the NSO.

Re: FS: York 6/4 CC tuba
I can vouch for this seller -- Theo is a great dude with whom I have done business several times in the past and I am sure this is a great tuba.
Do you have any information regarding who did the build? .750" bore? Is the fifth valve Kanstul?

Yes, 0.750 bore throughout the valves. They are original York. I believe the 5th valve was made by meinlsmidt in Germany, will check. It was built by Bob Schilp at Dillon music and played in the national symphony for awhile.

Re: FS: York 6/4 CC tuba
It appears as though someone did a ton of work reconfiguring that valve section from tilt to vertical. Kudos to them on all that work.

I had a classmate in college who was in the 202nd Army Band (National Guard band) and they provided him with a Meinl-Weston Thor CC and a Miraphone Firebird F.
