For Sale: Pristine Yamaha YFB-822 F Tuba in Silver Plate

I am the only owner, purchased directly from Yamaha in 2018. The horn is in pristine condition and plays wonderfully. I’ve used this horn in about every situation possible and it always does a stellar job. It does not have a dent or ding on it and I have never repaired any either. The valves are fast and smooth. Comes with the factory hard case and a custom OG Cronkhite Leather gig bag with black and tan colorway. Both are in great condition - the hard case has only been used back and forth for service/cleaning. I also have a PVAK Kit made for this horn by Alan Baer.

Asking $10,000 for horn, PVAK, Cronkhite gig bag, hard case

Horn is located in Fort Collins, CO

Open to trade options. Open to interesting horns for consideration. Not locked into a model but looking toward either a smaller piston (Adam’s, YFB621) or maybe toward German rotary (PT10/15). Just fun horn. Notably - My skin has an interesting relationships with raw brass and lacquer without guards so preference definitely goes to silver horns but not against it, especially if a good older German rotary comes up. Just some thoughts. Thanks all.

I’m sorry to ask but are those all frisbees in the background of the third picture? If so, that must be the world’s largest frisbee collection!

I’ve never played an 822 F but I sure would like to. ie not a totally off topic post

Is new tuba smell a thing?

More interestingly, is new tuba sound a thing?

(Also happy to know a good tuba found a good home)
