Does anybody out there have either of these in good condition maybe looking for a POSSIBLE trade? I have a Wessex Wyvern with hard case and gig bag. Currently just looking to see if any of these are lurking around.
The ONLY reason I'm looking, is I prefer rotary valves.
Possibly looking for Yamaha YCB-661 or YCB-861

I don’t think anyone is gonna trade a 661 or a 861 for Wessex. Good luck with that.
I have a 661 I got in 1989. If you’re interested send me a PM I’ll sell it to you for a reasonable price.

I've only ever seen a couple of 861's posted -- on either board -- in the past 20+ years. I don't think they were exclusive to Japan, but they were certainly a lot more popular in Japan.

There was an 861 on ebay a couple weeks ago but besides that they do seem to exceptionally rare and unorthodox outside of Japan. I've never played one but yamahas have never stuck out to me as being very memorable tubas, the 661 is more common here and quite popular kinda like the Japanese "piggy" but better in every way but they are also few are far between.
Good luck on your search
