Budget F tuba $4000

Post by dasanchez »

Hi,

I’m looking for a reliable F, 5 valves at least and a hard case are necessities for me right now, I’m staying away from BMBs right now as they just don’t fit me. Looking to spend around $4000. Don’t shy away from sending a message I’m flexible if you feel you have something I might appreciate let me know.

Thanks a lot!

I’m looking for either a Wessex Berg or one of the Small Cerveny F tubas or anything similar within the budget, 5 valves and a hard case are necessities for me right now, I’m staying away from BMBs right now as they just don’t fit me. Looking to spend around $3000. Don’t shy away from sending a message I’m flexible if you feel you have something I might appreciate let me know.

My son requested my Cerveny 653, so I'm keeping it for him.

My subtle advice: Keep saving your money and get a USED B&S. I have both now, and there's no comparison.

Sadly I don’t have the time or means to save for a higher end horn! I have work coming up soon and I need a reliable F sooner!

Thanks for the advise

What about those Dillons F tubas? They are in your price range.
