- 4 – Martin Medium fiberglass BBb recording basses. All need full restoration. Valves are good, fiberglass needs little work, but extensive brace work is needed, and making reproduction leadpipes for three of the tubas. The bell rims had unique reinforcing rings, which will take a bit of time to figure out how to make new replacements. My intention is to restore all four to original gold metalflake finish and repair or replace lacquer finish on all valvesets. Final sales price is contingent upon cost of restoration, initial guess would be $2,500.00 – $3,000.00 each.
- Yamaha YBB-321 4-piston BBb tuba, with hard case. This instrument has good lacquer, and when complete will have vented pistons, and water keys on 1st, 3rd and 4th valve slides, eliminating awkward water removal when in playing position. I intend to prep the instrument to optimize response and agility. When set-up properly, the 321 BBb will really deliver! Ready within 1 week, approx. $2,750.00.
