Well, I pulled the trigger on a Martin Wilk-built Eb and need to recoup some funds. I'm selling my Eastman 853 Eb in raw brass that I purchased as a demo earlier in the pandemic. I had Martin Wilk shorten the third valve slides (common on this horn), rebrace it, and machine the valve caps for perfect alignment. Overall, I've got about $6,000 in this horn. I'm asking $4200. It's easy to play and is in great condition. It is NOT a shiny lacquer finish. Comes with hard case. There are numerous videos on my Youtube channel (William Pemberton) of this horn in action. Here are a couple:

Horn is in SE Michigan, outside of Ann Arbor. Buyer pays shipping.
Thanks!
William

Re: Eastman 853 Eb Tuba $4,200
truly true... he was my inspiration to do that. i'm not quite as accomplished but i've done the bordogni and the tyrell... i refer to his videos to see if i'm getting rhythms right.Three Valves wrote: ↑Sat Jul 02, 2022 6:13 amDo you know how many people start an etude book from start to finish and never get through half??

EDIT: looking at bordogni there are a couple at the end I haven't begun yet. They look difficult at first glance.
