I'll post all about it when the time comes for it. Blessed that we can avoid shipping, so a little extra time/patience is no concern to me.

- Jinbao tornister BB-flat
- ZO mini BB-flat

I forget which tuba was advertised as being in the key of Cb, but it's definitely that one.

Re: [Traded] Alexander 163 CC
Eventually, someone will guess correctly. There are only so many combinations of key, size, configuration, and valve type.
Only hint is that it's not something I've owned before. Beyond that, I won't post publicly about it until I have it in-hand.

Re: [Traded] Alexander 163 CC
Wow! I want one. I've been looking for one since 3 B.C. The military grade ones were made by the great Roman maker, Fartius Odious Blohardtius. They were available only in DDb which is the pitch I am after. Think of the possibilities, guys. These horns will make any band more, uh, interesting.
