York Eb-Tuba 5 Valve

Post by Kontrabasstuba »

Hey folks,

i woukd like to sell my York Eb- Tuba, because i found a OTS Saxhorn in Eb for my collection.

The York is a wonderful instrument with a beautiful sound. The tube is absolutely acceptable for a York Eb Tuba. Dillon music in New Jersey made it for (I think) Scott Mendoker. I think he may have at one point played it in the New York Philharmonic. I have no proof of that . I haven't had a chance to ask him about it.

1-3 Valve is 16.6 mm
4-5 Valve is 17.6 mm
Bell Ø 50 cm

Pictures are here:

I'm asking 5000 Euro incl. shipping by DHL
Tuba is located in Germany.

Thank you for looking!

That is exquisitely tempting to me. How much slide pulling do you tend to need with this horn?

A bit. Für the lower register a little more (of course)
Like on my 5 valve F-Tuba...
It's absolutely good playable.
