Bay area student tuba?

Post by humBell »

Anyone in the greater bay area have relatively cheap student BBb tuba they would be willing to part with?

It would end up as a home practice horn for a student (San Jose area, if you know the way... (that joke has not yet gotten old)) whose school apparently upgraded to a tuba that doesn't fit in the car.

My friend had a couple tubas they'd picked up for me over the past year, but alas, both were Eb instruments, so not quite adequate to this task.

And in my quest, i posted 2 new cool craigslistings that are a little too far away (San Diego or Portland), so likewise if anyone might be driving that way with space in the car, maybe that could work too...

Sorry, i should have updated this thread as resolved.

I figured out how to change address on ebay so as to ship a cheap ebay tuba there.

Be sure you take care to change it back. Having moved a few times, I've had packages end up at old addresses because I didn't check to see that that field had been updated.

If i accidentally send more stuff to my friend, i have more excuses to visit him. It isn't all bad...

That said, ebay didn't change my default, so it is a one-off.
