SOLD: Rudolf Meinl RM45 Custom Musikmesse 4/4 CC tuba

Post by Billy M. »

1985 Custom Musikmesse Rudi Meinl 5-valve CC tuba for sale. Horn is rose brass with nickel silver trim. Rotors are bronze. Includes 2nd valve slide kicker. Special engraving performed by Rudi for this horn.

Includes Jakob Winter case.

Located in Pensacola, FL.

Willing to travel up to 450 miles from my location for a guaranteed sale.

Asking price is $13,500.00 with some flexibility for a pickup in Pensacola. I am adamant about not shipping this horn. The thought of it getting any damage from a shipping service would be heartbreaking.

This horn deserves a good home where it will be played.

I've played this horn on a couple occasions and it is simply spectacular! If I didn't have my dream horn, I would buy it!

Of all the "groups" on the web, I'd hope to sell to someone in this group over all the others.

Looks like the fakebooks changed the address for the images. Corrected, for now.
