Re: KS FB: Alexander 163 BBb
The one I have for sale is in SUCH better condition than this one.
Just saying. When I get around to it, it is going to Dillon on consignment. In a Chronkite bag in a box shrink-wrapped to a pallet in my garage due to interrupted sale in the past.

Re: KS FB: Alexander 163 BBb
@Mary Ann Yours is much newer, but the one above looks like it's in really good shape, and is a handsome older tuba. For example, the bottom bow is clean, the bell is clean, the 4th valve tubing is WAY out there and looks to be still totally round.
PS --the coins on the paddles are probably worth $20-$30 each for the silver melt value.
