Re: Sacramento CL: Yorkbrunner
Perantoni, probably. If I recall he got the first one.
EDIT: The description says made for Perantoni
Moreover, though, I always wonder how so many of these 80's Hirsbrunners end up with a bunch of worn away silver. Is it a bunch of repair work? Someone's sweat eating away at it? Bad or thin plating? What gives?

Re: Sacramento CL: Yorkbrunner
HA! I totally missed that.
As for wear...
It's a 40 year old tuba that's been used a lot. I think it looks about right, to me.
Side note: a few years back, Bob Tucci told me about some kind of metric for how long tubas are designed to last. Something like, if a tuba was used by a professional all day every day, how many years would it last? (IIRC, it was something like 30 or 40 years)... And from there you can figure for 50% usage (or less), the tuba will last much longer.
And for many of us who play maybe a few hours per week, or people who own multiple tubas and use them in rotation... This stuff isn't wearing out any time soon, as long as we take care of it.

Re: Sacramento CL: Yorkbrunner
Perhaps the first Yorkbrunner that entered the US, and made in 1981. 23.5 lbs is light for such a large 5v, 6/4 CC tuba, so I could definitely understand those early Yorkbrunners being all handmade.
As cool as that is, this tuba has a whole lot of playing wear, and previous repair on it. Probably still a great player, that's why it was heavily used for decades. But condition and appearance are factored into price, which is too high here. It's about $4-5k too high, imo.
I think it could be prettied up just a little.
I'm actually sometimes more cautious of decades-old horns that still look pristine.......unless they were refurbished or something

Now priced at $12,500. I saw pics of the pistons and they are 100%. Nice deal.
