FS: Yamaha 641 BBb tuba

Post by greenbean »

Here is a very nice Yamaha YBB-641. This is a biggish 4/4 BBb tuba, I would say. Just went through the shop and it is ready to play. It was ultrasonically cleaned and had some minor dents removed. Rotary valves have lots compression and are smooth and silent, as are all the tuning slides. Horn is squeaky clean and plays like a new tuba. Comes in the original, wheeled hard case in great shape.

Here is some more info about this horn...

Bell is 16.5", height is 40", weight is 21 lbs, and bore is .812. I played it a bit today - after not touching a tuba for several months. I had somewhat low expectations because of the mixed reviews I have read about this horn. But this horn is a very nice player! Very easy to play and does everything well.

They sure did make all those slides easy to reach, compared to, for example, a Bb 186.
