Ackerman & Lesser F-Tuba ca 1920 for sale

Post by TheBerlinerTuba »

Hello everyone, I'm posting for an old friend who has retired from playing tuba.

1920s Ackermann & Lesser F-Tuba made in Dresden.

3/4 size, 4 rotary valves, unlacquered. It's a large shaft, but has been fit with an adapter to take american size shank.
The 4th valve is tuned to 2 tones/half a step higher than a quartvalve. The slide however can be easily modified to make a true quart should you prefer.
A few dents and dongs here and there but in good playable condition. No patches or poor repair that I could see.
Valves have excellent compression and linkages are tight and quiet. Plays at A=440Hz
Highly recommended for those looking to get into historical 19th century tuba praxis without breaking the bank or someone looking for a very lightweight F-Tuba.
Price: 1000€
The tuba is located in Berlin. Shipping is possible, just ask.
