I am looking for a CC Piggy or Yamaha 661 to try/buy. I am in Tennessee but can travel most places east of the Mississippi or within 700 miles of Knoxville. Condition not that important as long as it plays well...in fact, I love raw brass...
Thanks,
royjohn

Re: Seeking a Piggy
I know of someone selling one out West: https://www.bethmitchelltubastudio.com/ ... 00.00.html
I was looking for a Piggy this past summer, but had no bites at all on the East Coast.
Good luck!

Re: Seeking a Piggy
That is ultimately the reason I didn't purchase that one in California without being able to try it first.

Re: Seeking a Piggy
Yeah, it seems like a few years ago there were lots of Piggies for sale but the market has dried up. I hope you find one! I am out of the market now but I'll keep an eye out as well.royjohn wrote: ↑Tue Feb 14, 2023 5:31 pm arpthark wrote;

Re: Seeking a Piggy
I know I wish I didn't sell mine. It was one of the great ones, and everyone told me I would regret selling it
They were 100% right

Re: Seeking a Piggy
@royjohn, that Quinn fellow has a YCB-661:

Price is reasonable, maybe negotiable?
Good thing about the 661 is that they are likely pretty consistent, as far as tubas go. Rare as hens teeth, however.

File that one under the “not paying attention” category.

Re: Seeking a Piggy
Give Lee Stofer a call regarding the Lidl tubas he has imported. He's got a piggy that may interest you.
Re: Seeking a Piggy
I'll check with Lee, but he has a Lidl F tuba listed for $6750 and I am guessing that the Piggy variant is about that price or more...which is way beyond my budget. I will just stay with the 410 I have unless I can find something for under $4K.
