Re: Walter Sear De Prins tuba on eBay (auction ended)

Saw that. There's a slightly gnarly patch around the receiver.

Re: Thoughts on this lathe?

Eh, I hit a bump trying to get the logistics to work out (me, him, friends, truck, etc.) and he had a lot of other offers and couldn't hold it for me.

To quote our pal bort, "they made more."

Re: Thoughts on this lathe?

Sold before I could get it. Oh well. Probably a bit too much for me to bite off and chew right now anyway.

eBay (NY): Barcone junior/baby sousaphone

Looks like it is in BBb but with a small bore and a skinny body. Would this be appropriate for Verdi? https://www.ebay.com/itm/256641066084?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=1WExwRXfT9y&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/hU4AAOSwnetm5u22/s ...

Beautiful old Distin engraving

This is the nicer of my two little Distin Eb tubas. I realized it only had a surface sheen of purple tarnish and shined it up a bit today after doing some work on it. I love the engravings and all the little details in the filigree. https://i.imgur.com/Bx4UEeW.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/ioqkb2q.jpeg ...

Re: Holton 340 Stem/Button/Cap Mod

How much do the 340s weigh?

I wish I could rescue one from a high school or something, but I don't think they were ever very popular up this-a-way. It seems like the closer you get to the original factories, the more of these you see.

edit: thanks for the pic!

Piggy thoughts, 6 months in

I got an 80s Cerveny Piggy CC as a part of a 1,000 mile round-trip, 3-tuba-trade experience back in March. Here are some random thoughts: - Hey, this thing has pretty good intonation. Open series is pretty good. Some alternates are required but nothing mind-bending. Biggest stumbling block for me is ...

Re: Music-Go-Round (MD): 4v Mirafone 186 CC

It could be the angle of the photograph or just my terrible eyesight but it looks like a 184 or a 185 to me. Regardless, seems like a Very good price. Best, Ed Went and picked it up... 185. First valve was a bit rough. Pics also didn't show off all of the dents. Played great though! Good thing I ...
