SOLD Alexander gold brass F tuba, lowered price

Gold brass. Shop said it appears to have had very little use, plays basically like new. I'm guessing it's about 30 years old; very light weight. It has a good condition pre-China Reunion Blues cordura case that fits well, clam shell, very long zipper.

$9400 and all offers will be presented to the owner. I am not the owner but am facilitating the sale. Will ship at buyer's expense and risk. I have successfully shipped tubas without damage, but nothing is guaranteed; you cannot protect against everything that can happen, like a fork lift through the box. We do have an Old Dominion depot here in town, which would put it on a pallet, but that does cost more than UPS or FedEx.

Tuba is in Tucson, AZ. Cash or check that clears prior to pickup or shipment.

Bump with new price.

I have gotten two requests from people who want to access this folder on dropbox; I thought everyone can see the pics?

And the requested access included editing -- which under all circumstances is a nope anyway.

The two names given me who want editing access are Charley Pollard and Daniel Sanchez. I don't know if these are real people or not.

Hi this is Charley, I'm not able to access the folder. When I click the link it just says I don't have access to this content and that I need to request it.

When you first posted the link, I could freely access the pics. Now it's asking me to sign in which can be via Dropbox, Google or Apple account. I did not try logging in.

I don't know why that happened -- I'll do it over.
If this share doesn't work (edited initial post) I'll shrink them all to fit and post tomorrow on here. Sorry about that, I was trying to avoid the hassle of shrinking them so I could put in the post. I dont' know any other way of doing it.

It's working again without asking for a sign-in.

Bump. In another few days I will put it on the Phoenix craigslist, but wanted to give people here a chance first.

@chaspol3 I have sent you two emails and one DM, and you have not answered. So I'm concluding that you are no longer interested.

I wonder some people aren't reading everything and don't click on "view in browser" ?

It looks damn nice.

That looks fantastic. Good thing I'm already happy with my rotary F.

As a practical matter which might also apply to some potential buyers, my bank limits zelle transfers to $500/day and $2000/week, so it would take over a month to pay for this. That's probably long enough for a check to fully clear.

Thank you, I did not know that. I think the owner of these tubas does not know that either, or she thinks that is all they are going to sell for, despite my giving her good info -- she does not speak or understand much English, and I am now trying to find someone local who is bilingual so both of us can get a better idea of the situation.

Bump. Lowered price again to $9400. Someone must be hiding somewhere who realizes what this tuba is and buys it. Where else can you get a like new Alex five valve F?
