York Preference 3082 EEb 4 valve compensating tuba silver. Barely used. I believe this tuba to be completely dent free (never been dented). You might??? Be able to find some light scratches. It's in very good condition. I believe this model was made in the same German factory that makes the Besson ...

Used. Some plywood damage in one corner, but still seems pretty sturdy.

Getting ready for our veterans day parade... the bell is marked "MIRAFONE" and a model number "2356". Also I want to point out the plain ferrules.

The top valve caps threaded to the casings sort of look like Miraphone 1291/2/3 but I'm not familiar enough with those - and the picture is not high resolution enough, so inconclusive. I guess I could ask Christian. He would tell me the truth. Thank you for taking the picture. I reuploaded the pic ...

@bloke

Here's a Pic I found on my phone. It didn't fit in this unitec case. Bell was too tall. Notice the crazy 4th valve tuning slide.

I'm in the DC National guard band. We have miraphfone 4 valve sousaphones. Engraved "made in west Germany". Don't know the answer to your question though.

I'm selling thus almost perfect condition "York". If you want a "fake BBb", you might want a bigger bell like on this one. Asking price is $6,500.

I haven't played this model. I have a Schiller euphonium that I bought used. I'm thrilled with it. I tend to believe that there are so many of these euphoniums made and sold that they probably have gotten really good at making them. There are so many different tubas they make, I'm guessing there ...

I think I am a previous owner. Liked it very well.

Medium: I had a VMI 3302 for about 2.5 years and I thought it was excellent Large: My BB-345 (although I was also very impressed with the Wessex Prokofiev) ---------- My personally owned main contrabass tubas were: Conn 15J (front action) VMI 3302 MW 5450 Yamaha YCB-822 Holton BB-345 I rather liked ...

The more I look at this, the more I like it

I have quite a good 2-tuba set up. My Holton BB-345... I hadn't played it for a few weeks... I'd been playing on the government- owned PBK... kinda been feeling like I lost my tuba mojo... then I played my Holton at a gig and it was like magic. . My Besson 983 is also excellent. I feel more at home ...

(as I believe I've noticed that - often - the less receiver reverse taper exposed, the more immediate is the response and maybe just a bit more overtone play in the resonance as well). When I was at the Army tuba conference, I tried out a bunch of different mouthpieces for my BB-345. Ended up with ...

Unlikely that anyone would ever do it, but I've imagined some different possibilities if people were willing to route a section of the leadpipe inside the bell. Call it a shortcut?

What city are you in? I might be happy to come buy this

Looks like a Leonard Falcone model. I had one with the upright bell.

Were these put together by the guy who goes by "Victor Herbert" on Facebook?

I guess I've never played an old style 2341... there was one there and I loved it. Very responsive.

I had a 3302 in high school before greeting a 5450... so it was fun to try the 3301... amazing tuba.

I also really loved the Prokofiev

If you buy the Schiller Euphonium from Jim Laabs directly instead of on eBay, you will save some money ($885 plus shipping). I have a compensating Schiller euphonium bought new (not by me- I'm the second owner) in 2022 and it is a bit fancier than the one that have in their advertisment pictures. It ...
