They’re just heavier than regular rotors, and that SUCKS for extended periods of playing. The hand gets tired. I’m one of the (few?) who really likes a lot of Willson’s stuff. I just wish that they weren’t so over-engineered in the wrong places. They are not light for sure, but I've never found them ...

I understand Eastman makes it very attractive for dealers to sell their products. They sound very friendly. I briefly owned two Eastman tubas. Sell rather take a loss is a “no brainer.” Being impressed how another company closely copied your product and then selling your company to them? Well, that’ ...

Must've been because I pulled it from that users use of your post. It's fixed now.

Maybe there was no next generation that wanted to continue the business? So I got all of this directly from the upper echelon of Eastman and Willie. Switzerland has a mandatory retirement age of 65 and Willie is only a few years off. Willie does not have anyone to take the business over he was ...

This one has the plastic edge binding, so I don't know if it will fit an upright bell. If someone has measurements, I can always check.

Finding random stuff in the back of a warehouse is part of being in business for 66 years. The exterior box still has old UMI white tape on it. $100 OBO takes it, local pick up or buyer pays shipping. Sales tax not included. If interested call the store at 301-946-8808 or email aaron.smith ...

Thanks, I added a link to the original.

Hi folks, We just posted this one on Reverb, but I thought I would also share it here. This horn is super clean minus a couple of repaired dents and plays great. It was in our rental pool for a short period but was pulled several years ago because of the recording bell. I know the listed freight ...

Hey there folks, We just got this one cleaned up and listed on Reverb. It's a great player and is in stellar condition, for its age. The previous owner mentioned that he played it very little in a local polka band around Oktoberfest season. If you have questions, send us a message on Reverb, or ...

Tell us more about the Rental fleet! Can't say how many times over the years I've had someone comment about wishing they could rent a Tuba... not normally something that the usual music store band rental programs seem to do. Checking the Chuck's web site doesn't turn anything up. It's way down at ...

Hi y'all,

This one is retired from our rental program. It's a great player, but has a it bumps, scrapes, and scars.

If you have any questions about it feel free to email me at aaron.smith@chucklevins.com

Thanks for looking!
