Bell looks so tiny, what is that 13-14 inches? If I was an Eb kinda guy id probably buy it.

This one been here awhile. The serial number of the bell and body seem to be different. Is the serial number on the flange an actual serial number? Or maybe some other miscellaneous number? How hard would yall think to get a proper bell for this one? Definitely interesting imo

If I had the $, I'd probably buy this and I'm sure I would be happy with it.

I went back and listened to some.recorsings from when I used this. It really was a good sounding tuba. I bet I could play it better NOW then I did back THEN. :tuba:


It says it takes an American shank, is that true ...

They had another one that was in better shape that I tried to buy, of course they auction ended at like 4:13am my time and I was outbid. Sold for about 1000 bucks.

Hey Marty, would you mind sending me an email at tubasekai@gmail.com I wanted to ask you a question about that meinl weston 33 you had back in 2020 thank you.

Yeah the serial number makes it worth the price alone in my opinion. I was very tempted but I think im gonna keep waiting for a MW 32/33

If the lead pipe is actually made of gold, as it says in the ad, then it would be quite an exceptional deal at this price.

If the lead pipe was made out of gold brass, or actually does any other material than solid gold, I think it's too expensive

I can't remember if I played this model, but I ...

Has anyone played the new Alexanders and compared them side by side to the older ones? I've owned 3 older Alex's from the 50s to the 70s but never even held one of these new ones. I know they claim to have retained the same Alexander sound but have corrected some of the intonation quirks but ive ...

Are these any good? I feel like I always see one for sale. Sometimes it feels like it's the same one being sold over and over again too haha

Hey yall happy Sunday. Just an Army vet who hasn't played in a few years due to health conditions but wanting to get back into it some time soon.
Many years ago I had a MW 33 stolen from my locker at the university i was attending. Absolutely adored that horn but never got it back for all I know it ...

Where did you get this horn? Looks a lot like the one I used to own a very long time ago albeit with more corrosion.
