B&S model 3301 B-flat tuba w/case - ONLY $5995 !!!
NEW CONDITION - professional-grade model
- astonishingly, about 15 years old (We've seen more surface scratches on just-unpacked brand-new instruments.) :bugeyes:
- made by B&S (marketed as "VMI")
- 4-piston/front-action
- 19mm/19.5mm bore
- 19" bell
- compact 4/4++ size design (36" tall)
- "PT-6P style" slide set-up (easy access to both #1 and #3 slides, if desired)
- gorgeous bell engraving
- superb/easy intonation/tendencies
- majestic large-ensemble sound characteristics
- superb-condition MTS case included
- At >>$5995<< for THIS B&S professional quality tuba, it's priced at THOUSANDS below the price of the KING (student model) 2341 tuba outfit.
- The current "brand-new/big-box" price is $12,000 PLUS case...and with an inch-smaller bell (only 18")
There aren't much nicer (nor nice-playing) compact over-4/4-size B&S-made front-action German-made tubas. This is priced to sell very fast. Buyer pays shipping or (safer) we strongly encourage in-person pick-up.

Vendors and retail members are encouraged to use the retail marketplace, but if they feel that they want to post twice, we're not going to stop them

If you were told different by me or anyone else, I'm sorry. Opinions and procedures evolve when you are just starting something from scratch
Yep, I'm Mark
