I used to have the M&M version of this horn when I started playing again about 10 years ago. It had a good tone and intonation, but the valves were LOUD. Has anyone had any recent experience with these horns?

Thanks guys! I'll have him double check it!

Does anyone know anything about this horn? The seller says it's a Bb.

I've got a BMB Bb tuba that also collects water in the upper bows. These are Holton type horns. Even if I don't set it on its bell, after about an hour of playing there's water. This is an old post, but what's the consensus. Is it helpful to put water keys of any sort on the upper bows?

If someone has an interest in the Conn, let me know. If my friend is not interested, I'll contact you.

After testing then both side by side, I'm keeping the BMB. I'm offering the Conn 25j to my friend in the band first, but if he's not interested, I'll list it here. It's a really beautiful Conn 25j finished in bright silver.

Beauty!

I have strong feelings about these horns too!

Thanks for all the good input. I'll get the BMB back from the dent shop soon and will be able to test them side by side. I love the sound from both horns, but I only want to own one. The Conn has to rest on my lap when playing without a bit, but it's comfortable otherwise. It's tricky to navigate ...

I'm a community band member. The music isn't that difficult and hardly ever a note below F. I'll be deciding soon between the two horns. I like these horns for their round tone. Sometimes I'm the only tuba at practice in a group of 90. What would you choose if you were in my position?

Great price!

Mark,

This is a tuba being sold in person only. Play testing and inspection encouraged. It's a great horn.

You bet. PM works for me now. I just asked the moderator to turn it on. I'll email you.

Mary Ann,

I don't have PM privileges yet since I'm new to this group. Feel free to message me for my contact information. You'll have to leave a way to contact you outside PM though. I'm also on the other tuba forum under the same name and do have PM there if that's better for you.

You bet!

I just listed a Mirafone/Miraphone 186 CC on this site. It's in great shape. It's located in the Cleveland, Ohio area and is priced at $2500 OBO
