SOLD: Wurzbach 4v BBb

Post by arpthark »

On the market again after buyer backed out as I was prepping it for shipping...

4 valve Wurzbach (Chinese) BBb tuba. I would rate this as a large 3/4 or small 4/4 size tuba (7/8?).

This is an older Chinese tuba but plays surprisingly well. I recently adjusted the linkage so that they are much less rattly, but it could definitely do with a conversion to something sturdier down the line. Slides all move well, valves are decent, linkage still a bit noisy.

Comes with hard zippered case. Asking $600 + shipping or pickup from southeast CT; can meet you in the New England or NYC Metro area.

Hey, I stumbled upon a page detailing the mods of that Conn Franken CC by coincidence just now!

Is this tuba sill available and is it in playable condition? Is pickup available in New England?

Thanks in advance for your response.

Well, as I was about to take this to be shipped, the buyer backed out.

On the market again!

Money first, THEN ship!

At least it's ready for the real buyer, now!

He PayPal-ed me, so I just refunded him since I hadn't sent the horn yet. But if he had texted me a couple hours later, I don't know what I would have done.

I'd really prefer a local sale and cash to avoid shipping woes and PayPal fees... but I will ship if someone outside the northeast wants this cheap tuba. Expect shipping to be an additional $200-400.
