Yamaha YEB-321 Eb tuba - $2k

Post by greenbean »

Here is a terrific Eb tuba from Yamaha. Four in-line, top-action valves that work beautifully. Silver plate, a few minor dents, no signs of previous damage, original case included. Great playing horn!

NOTE: I replaced these previous-owner photos with fresh ones from today.

I owned it’s relative, the YEB-381, a 321 with a fifth valve add-on. It worked GREAT in brass choir situations and in community band playing. Sorry I sold it years ago for a FA horn…..ergonomics situation.

I would love to add a 5th valve to one of the YEB-321's! Some day...

My wife is very happy to hear that.

I've been pondering a return to Eb land. When this popped up in my own backyard, I was very tempted!

Congrats, Tom. The herd will be stronger and healthier for the thinning.
