This is pretty close to me.

I might be able to go pick it up and ship it.

My wife and her parents will be out in Plymouth for a wedding in 2 weeks. This is very very tempting to buy and have them drive home with it...!

I'm headed back to suburban Detroit this week to visit family and a HS graduation for my niece. I'm tempted to check this horn out.

The food is pretty awesome. Getting in my fix of Detroit Style pizza, Detroit style coney dogs, & Lake Perch. If I head to Ann Arbor, I'll have to hit Zingerman's.

My wife brought home a chocolate babka from Zingerman's last spring. :drool:

Yeah, Zingerman’s is pretty special. Don’t forget Slow’s while in Detroit.

Does anyone know if this tuba has the chance of being a good player?

Looks like it's missing a waterykey?

There is always the chance. I imagine it would be a good player based on his eBay post. He does mention that he has the missing water key.

Just bought it today. I really liked the way it played. I didn't see any of the typical B&F markings on the instrument/valves. It is going to need some work. Left it at my parents house and now I have to figure out shipping

Yeah, my wife keeps wondering when I'm not going to buy a tuba! ;)

Fortunately, she's freaking awesome.
