Martin 6/4 BBb Tuba for sale
Hi,
i want to sell my Martin BBb Tuba.
Wanted to make a project with it, but my priorities are now on other projects.
Number is 105541 (1932/1933) & 100 cm high.
Tuba is playable, but need a valve service. If someone is interested, please send me an PM for details. I paid 1600 Euro ( $1900) and i sell it for the same price plus shipping. I'm from Germany, will ship with DHL

Re: Martin 6/4 BBb Tuba for sale
Very nice looking tuba. Is that an original Martin upright bell?

Thanks. I think its a Kanstul Bell. No markings on it...York-aholic wrote: ↑Sun Aug 22, 2021 8:30 am Very nice looking tuba. Is that an original Martin upright bell?

Re: Martin 6/4 BBb Tuba for sale
Fantastic looking horn. Those pre war Martins are especially great. That upright bell looks taller than the other Kanstuls I've seen, and it doesn't have that King-like gold lacquer thst I usually see on them, but I suppose it still could be a special one-off.

Re: Martin 6/4 BBb Tuba for sale
The taper looks (to me) more like the bells Wessex made for the XL tuba, which do fit Martins. I can't describe why, but when I looked at the pictures, my brain thought Wessex...
However, that doesn't mean it isn't a Kanstul.

Re: Martin 6/4 BBb Tuba for sale
I don’t think Kanstul (or any other manufacturers) would make special one off bells as that would pretty much require another mandrel to be made. Want it at 19” diameter rather than 20”? Sure we can do that. Taller? Not so much.MartinMan wrote: ↑Sun Aug 22, 2021 3:45 pm Fantastic looking horn. Those pre war Martins are especially great.

That doesn’t take away from this Martin. Great looking horn, front action… Thinking about it myself.
Daniel: from past experience do you have a rough guess what it might cost to ship to the US?

Shipping by individuals and small shops from DE and central Europe to the US is usually much more reasonable than shipping within the US.York-aholic wrote: ↑Tue Aug 24, 2021 5:34 amWow, that’s really quite reasonable!

I have made purchases from Germany, and (unless I needed to play-test the instrument first) I would have no problem doing it again.

Re: Martin 6/4 BBb Tuba for sale
That's probably a Martin leadpipe. Martin tubas came with one bit like a souzy bit to help the player position the mouthpiece to the embouchure. Does this tuba have the bit?

Re: Martin 6/4 BBb Tuba for sale
That's what I mean, the leadpipe looks like it's been partially replaced with a standard receiver and upper portion of a normal leadpipe. If it were Martin original, I would suspect that it would have the screw receiver to insert the bits - but I don't see that.
Re: Martin 6/4 BBb Tuba for sale
Yeah, the sleeve midway through the leadpipe and the conventional receiver would lead me to believe the same. Doesn't mean it would have a negative affect on the horn, however.Mithosphere wrote: ↑Thu Sep 09, 2021 4:23 pm That's what I mean, the leadpipe looks like it's been partially replaced with a standard receiver and upper portion of a normal leadpipe.

That's a great price for a front-action Mammoth. I don't really want to start a collection, but if I did...

Re: Martin 6/4 BBb Tuba for sale
I bet someone would buy this tuba if you post a video of you playing it.
Or, maybe that's just me, wanting to hear you play this tuba!
