B&S Symphonie CC Tuba – $7,950.00
B&S Symphonie CC Tuba, ser. # 126510, lacquered, 4+1 graduated .665″/.700″/.740″/.778″/.817″ bore, with Cronkhite gig bag.
Hand-crafted from 1964 until ca. 1981, B&S Symphonie F-tubas are well-known, but not the occasional, extremely rare CC version. We carefully restored this tuba, and found it to possess an exquisite, singing quality in all registers. If you seek finesse and agility, this tuba checks the boxes, and more. I had the front pouch of the Cronkhite bag embroidered with a distinctive logo, as it holds a truly special tuba.……………$7,950.00
Buescher Epoch model Compensating Double-bell Euphonium – $3,750.00
Buescher Epoch model compensating double-bell euphonium, ser.# 35972, silver, with ProTec bag. Manufactured in mid’ 1917, this rare beauty has a .562″ bore, 12″/7″ bells, and a Euro-sized mouthpiece receiver.
This is the only American-made compensating euphonium I’ve encountered and rare because it remains in very good playing condition. A real jewel of a double-bell euphonium………………$3,750.00
King 1240 BBb Recording Bass – $3,250.00
King 1240 BBb recording bass, ser.# 453694, 3 piston, original hard-shell cases.
The most pristine satin silver King I’ve ever encountered, this tuba was made ca. 1968, after the Seeburg Company had bought King (see case tag detail). Extra effort went into small repairs of the tuba, and the very nice original hard cases. A fine player with stunning looks, I think it needs to be seen & heard!……$3,250.00

King 2350 BBb Sousaphone – $4,950.00
King 2350 sousaphone, ser. # 909549, silver, 3 pistons, neck, tuning bits, MTS hardcase, mouthipiece.
Freshly overhauled and silver plated, I decided to have the slides and removable valve parts nickel plated for extra durability. It has a new upper mouthpipe and tuning bits, mouthpiece & lubricants, and comes in a new MTS hard case. I did not try to remove every scratch, but rather save the metal thickness, so that it plays very well and will last. The new mouthpiece is one of mine, or a Helleberg 120 or 7B, your choice….$4,950.00
