B&S model 3301 B-flat tuba w/case - ONLY $5995 !!!
NEW CONDITION - professional-grade model
- astonishingly, about 15 years old (We've seen more surface scratches on just-unpacked brand-new instruments.) :bugeyes:
- made by B&S (marketed as "VMI")
- 4-piston/front-action
- 19mm/19.5mm bore
- 19" bell
- compact 4/4++ size design (36" tall)
- "PT-6P style" slide set-up (easy access to both #1 and #3 slides, if desired)
- gorgeous bell engraving
- superb/easy intonation/tendencies
- majestic large-ensemble sound characteristics
- superb-condition MTS case included
- At >>$5995<< for THIS B&S professional quality tuba, it's priced at THOUSANDS below the price of the KING (student model) 2341 tuba outfit.
- The current "brand-new/big-box" price is $12,000 PLUS case...and with an inch-smaller bell (only 18")
There aren't much nicer (nor nice-playing) compact over-4/4-size B&S-made front-action German-made tubas. This is priced to sell very fast. Buyer pays shipping or (safer) we strongly encourage in-person pick-up.
