WITHDRAWN - John Packer JP179B
Posted: Thu Jul 10, 2025 9:43 am
No longer for sale.
JP179B BBb 3/4 tuba, along with a Schlipf practice mute.
I purchased the tuba new in 2021 from a dealer in PA. It's in very nice condition, probably better than many "demo" horns. There is one very small ding in the bell that's so hard to see I generally have to locate it by feel. There are also a few light scratches. And that's pretty much it as far as wear and tear. Included are the tuba, the mouthpiece that came with it, the factory hard case, a new set of valve guides, and a Schlipf #1 practice mute.
I wrote a review not too long ago. You can read it here: https://www.tubaforum.net/viewtopic.php ... 19#p104219
Photos are here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/F32b68jFKRjnYm8M6 Anyone with that link should be able to see them. Please let me know if you have any difficulty accessing them and I'll try to upload them somewhere else, too. Some of the photos have notes on them. Please read those. Also, I'm happy to take more photos if there's something you'd like to see in closer detail.
$2,000. I live near Harrisburg, PA and would be willing to meet someone half way with a confirmed sale, up to 3 hours each way my time. For example, this would include Pittsburgh, PA, Corning, NY, almost to Richmond, VA. You can also come to my home and try it out if you'd like. I'd rather not ship it if that can be avoided.
