Conn Eb Helicon – $1,750.00
1923 Conn Eb helicon, serial # 200063,silver plated.
This 4-piston helicon has a .687″ bore, 20″ bell, and weighs 17 lbs. This is a well-designed player that is sturdy, responsive, and fun to play. The helicon, lacking a neck & bits when it arrived, now has a custom-fitted King neck & bits, and 4 Stofer finger buttons. Big enough to provide a full tuba sound, yet light-enough to play strolling or standing, I think you’ll like it! …………………………………………………..$1,750.00, shipping extra.
York Custom CC Tuba – $5,500.00
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
Miraphone 1291 BBb Tuba – $8,595.00

The tuba was involved in a rehearsal hall accident when new. Eric & I have serviced it, and have done dent work, being careful to not damage the lacquer. If you are looking for a large & powerful BBb at an excellent price, I would recommend this tuba. There is minor cosmetic imperfections, but the tuba is otherwise as-new, with excellent valves, slides, and excellent playing characteristics. The case and bag (and mouthpiece) are all like-new………………..$8,595.00

The detachable bell and Alexander hand rest help make this instrument comfortable to hold and easy to travel with. The MB case w/ backpack straps is in exceptional condition as well. As for playability, I’d rate this instrument a 10, a welcome addition to any ensemble. I would recommend this exquisite horn to anyone who is serious about their playing and wishes to go to the next level……………………….$8,125.00
