For Trade: My Bass/Tenor trombone stuff for Your Tuba

Post by Bassboner »

What I've got:
- Conn 62hi from ~2000 nice shape, good player, with case (value ~$2500)
- King 1480 from 1961 - this is the small bore single valve bass precessor to the 5b (value ~$1500)
- King 3b+F 2125 525 bore, very "tenorish" sounding (value ~$1200)
- Olds Recording - Small Bore, Great player, not much of a looker (value ~$500)

What I want :
Tuba, probably BBb, 3-4 valves, non-compensating, 3/4 - 4/4 size, doesn't need work, solid sound for chamber groups, good valves, good intonation. Preferably valves down low rather than top side valves. Don't care piston or rotary. I don't know tubas as well as trombones obviously, but I think I'd like something shaped like a Hagen or 186 rather than, say a Yamaha 201, if that gives an idea.

Got anything you want to trade?
