Thanks! The valves on this horn are not an issue. The owner had Kevin Powers work on them some years ago and he had not had any issues since.

Does anyone know what this tuba ended up selling for? I am helping a friend sell his but cannot find many examples of the HBS 290 to base a starting price on? I sent a PM but I don’t if the seller will ever see it. Any assistance appreciated.

Thanks,

I have a Wessex BBb 4 valve Helicon that I would like to trade for a smaller BBb rotary valve tuba, preferably a Cerveny Piggy or the like. If anyone is interested, please PM for further discussion.

Silly question maybe, especially for as long as I’ve been playing tuba, does the Conn Helleberg 120S tuba mouthpiece have an American shank?
