Pre-Owned Instruments

Willson 3200-RZ5 F Tuba – $9,000

Willson 3200-RZ5 F tuba, serial number 2019, silver, 5 Rotax rotors, graduated bore, 17″ bell diameter, with Altieri gig bag and original hard case.

This large graduated-bore, professional F-tuba is one of the very best ever made in Switzerland or anywhere else. The 5th rotor is located after the 4th, and offers an even better low range response without sacrificing anything. It is in virtually pristine condition, having been well maintained since new. With hard case and Altieri bag, this is the no-excuse F-tuba that you can play confidently anywhere.…………………………….$9,000.00

York Custom CC tuba – $5,500

York Custom CC tuba, serial number 754199, silver, 4 piston .656″/ 5th rotor .687″, 19 1/2″ bell diameter, with Altieri gig bag.

This large exceptional CC tuba was created from a J.W. York monster Eb, refitted with branches 2 through 5, valveset, and leadpipe from a Conn 2J, which had the same valve bore as the original York valveset. I added a new Meinlschmidt 5th rotor, fabricated 5th linkage, lever assembly, and tubing assembly. The valveset has been refinished, and the tuba plays like a legend, the 4/4 CC that York never made. Freshly serviced, with Altieri bag.…………………………….$5,500.00

Kanstul 902-5C CC Tuba – $HOLD

Kanstul 902-5C CC tuba, serial number 43509, lacquer, 4 .687″ pistons, 5th patented . 687″ Controlled-flow rotor, 16″ bell, with Cronkhite gig bag.

This rare Kanstul 3/4 professional CC tuba is noted for sounding larger than you would expect, having great agility, and very solid intonation. the 5th slide has been modified to wrap upwards, to avoid pushing the slide in with one’s leg while playing. With a like-new Cronkhite bag, this is a very attractive horn that will not disappoint.…………………………….$6,250.00

Miraphone 1291 BBb Tuba – $10,500.00

Miraphone 1291 5v BBb tuba, serial number BBb1291-91666594, lacquer, 4 piston, 1 rotor .834″, 18 1/2″ bell diameter, with original hard case and gig bag.

This is what I’d call at least a 5/4 tuba, with 18.5″ bell and five .834 valves. Approximately two years old, it has been lightly used. Our servicing included a very thorough cleaning, minor dent removal, lubrication and detailing. If you are looking for a dark and powerful sound in all registers, this tuba delivers. The tuba comes with it’s original hard case and gig bag. A very potent outfit at a good price.…………………………….$10,500.00
