I have always heard that setting a tuba or euphonium with vertically positioned valves (top banger) on it's bell will allow dirt, grime and fluids, to make their way to the top (guide area/felts/top caps) of the valves when upside down. Briefly, at rehearsal likely not an issue. Longer term ...

We all know tuba mouthpieces are expensive, the safari often centered around more recently acquired horns. Problem is, if you unload a bunch of currently unused pieces, with the next acquisition the cycle starts again. I went with the unload approach as I am not currently looking at getting any more ...

I was very much in your situation as someone with ingrained trumpet fingerings but a fluent knowledge of reading the notes themselves in TC and BC as a piano player. A switch shortly after HS to Euphonium had me reading mostly TC parts for convenience. When I moved to Tuba later on in life, I chose ...

I have a set of these on my Wisemann and enjoy both the look and feel of them. I've also received a number of "really nice, where'd you get those?" comments.

Not a help, I know.... but I have an original Roylance and a TDCM-M (American shank). These MPs light up my CCs, provide range and articulation like no other!

I'm sure some here have seen this but never a better time for a repost

Exactly why I am here, maybe not posting much but always listening and learning.

I have a 2J in very rough cosmetic shape which I am not playing currently and the valves are in excellent shape with minimal wear. If anyone is interested, please PM me for pictures and we can discuss a price for just the valves. I'd be happy to ship those, but not the whole horn. Here's the ...

A couple more pieces out the door. Offers for what is left gladly accepted.

I am very sorry to hear this, the end of an era

Sold

On hold. Damn, shipping is expensive

I am unsure about the value of this "Instrument of the Devil" compared with what I paid originally and what else is out there on the market. Thus, a price drop bump to 500. OBO + shipping. If no action here in the next few weeks I'll get it on the Bay. Thanks for looking!

Some 5 years back, I decided to take up trombone with the goal of occasional doubling. I purchased this locally from a freelance musician and have decided that in light of other instruments I play much better, this really nice vintage bone has to go and get some use. The case/gig bag is new and has ...

As I figured, the two Blokepieces and the Laskey 30H sold quickly. For any remaining pieces I am open to offers. Thank you!

I have a "like new" MTS large frame case which came with my M-188. It still has that new scent inside and would be perfect for someone who lives in proximity to Tampa, FL, and prefers the protection that such a hard case offers. Personally I prefer a gig bag. With wheels for rolling transport, these ...

I have the following mouthpieces remaining for sale. Both Sellmansberger pieces have sold as well as a few other nice ones. Offers are being accepted for the following MPs which remain. Conditions are excellent with insertion marks unless noted otherwise. Shipping to CONUS for individual mouthpieces ...

"Tubas and Euphoniums For Sale and Wanted"
Looks like a reasonable deal for someone!

no case or bag, needs a fair amount of work, has had a fair amount of work... I'd be interested but not at that number. Exactly, telling it like it is. I've always felt if you really want to sell something, it should be priced a the point where bargaining is not necessary. Just put what you are ...
