Yamaha YBB-103 Tuba with case and mouthpiece
Yamaha YBB-103 Tuba with case and mouthpiece. In good shape and playing condition. This is definitely one of the nicer 103's that we have seen. They are hard to find and are no longer made. These are one of the best playing three valve BBb tubas. This tuba is light and easy to play. There is light lacquer wear and dings. All the slides and valves move well. This is a solid playing 3 valve front action tuba. Make this your home practice tuba or your main horn. Any questions please ask. Additional photos by email. $1099 Thank you

FYI... this 103 is version 2. It has a .040" larger bore than the version 1 of the same horn.

That is very good information. I found the early version very stuffy, though it may have been because it needed an alignment.
How can you tell?

Re: Yamaha YBB-103 Tuba with case and mouthpiece
A quick indicator is the 'dogleg' out of the top of the #1 casing. It's a true dogleg with ends that are in line. The version 1 is curved. I mentioned that the version 2 has a .040" larger bore but that's difficult to see even with both horns side by side. The valve sections are slightly different. The pistons will also interchange but of course that's not a good idea since the bores are different. The large bows and bell are the same.HoltonMammoth wrote:Dan Schultz wrote:FYI... this 103 is version 2. It has a .040" larger bore than the version 1 of the same horn.

If you're anywhere near Bushland, Texas, the band director is snapping up as many of these horns as he can.
