I know you've made up your mind, but it's a BIN with the option to make an offer (plus eBay fees and/or depending on your state, taxes). It's on FB Marketplace in NYC, too, seems legit. I'd be interested had I not just bought the Alex F.bloke wrote: Mon Jul 22, 2024 9:45 am maybe...but I just don't view these as worth a ton more than the opening bid

You know that I already own an F tuba that just makes every other one seem disappointing, and the same high level of playing characteristics in an F cimbasso.arpthark wrote: Mon Jul 22, 2024 10:59 amI know you've made up your mind, but it's a BIN with the option to make an offer (plus eBay fees and/or depending on your state, taxes).

Mostly, I was posting it for someone who would just like something that's pretty good, really well-made, and fairly inexpensive. ... I don't see any flipping room involved in this transaction, but it's a fair price, in my view.
There are three fully-chromatic B-flats sitting in this room, a two-bells fully chromatic E-flat, (again) two remarkable fully chromatic F instruments, two different fully chromatic euphoniums, A small collection of other 9-ft instruments, and yet another 9 ft instrument project in progress. If I add anything else, it's going to be a King fiberglass sousaphone. I just sold an amazing-playing (old heavy) King brass sousaphone, which I probably shouldn't have sold... but the buyer had an urgent need.

You guys should buy this one AND Tony's and then send them to Wade to do his magic, mainly scooped out valves and larger diameter valve body.
by the way isn't buying tubas for fun what its all about?

I always thought these play just fine (other than a few typical intonation landmines) with no mods.

I just looked at it and ebay said two things:
1. it sold
2. It has been re-listed (or an identical one, haha)
Can't both be true. This goes back to the get on zoom and show me so I can take a screen print of your face

Buyer requested to cancel the sale.
Seller should not be blamed.
