https://youtu.be/mlFnyxRe8yU My Sister sent me this YouTube video of something described as a “sub-contrabass trumpet and I’m confused about that sub-contrabass designation. At first I thought maybe it was an EEb, but the description on YouTube says it is pitched in Bb. The second valve slide app ...

I've got an old Reynolds Contempora Sousaphone, that was old when I bought it in 1975. It's a fine playing horn. If the upright model plays like the Sousaphone, it should be a really desirable horn. I've also seen 4 valve versions come up for sale at good prices periodically. Does anyone here know ...

I'm thinking Polka has something to do with it :)

I'd be interested in just the recording bell, in case someone wants just an upright tuba, and is willing to sell the second bell.

It is a great player and would make a great horn for anyone who is OK with a bit of patina :) comes with a wheeled hard case and three (3 ...

Thanks, hopefully I’ve fixed it now.

King 2341 $1,500.00 I'm offering my King 2341 upright detachable 19"bell tuba for sale. It's a great playing 4 front action valve horn. Decent condition. Some small dings, scratches, one crease in the bell (pictured) and lacquer is not perfect but it is perfectly playable and would make a great horn ...

Price reduced NOW $3,500.00 Nearly perfect condition 5 valve BBb contrabass tuba hand-made from sheet brass. If you can find the little ding on the back of the bottom bow (3rd photo) that’s the biggest blemish on this horn. Wessex lists it as a 4/4, but it’s every bit of 5/4 in my assessment. In ...
