Hello everyone! Up for sale is my 1938 King 1291. I purchased it 2 or 3 years ago and have put a lot of work into taking out major dents and making this a fantastic tuba. It'll easily support a large band or orchestra. The string-linkage rotors are fast and quiet. I bought it because my teacher plays on one, but I've decided to go in another direction (and I don't need two 6/4 BBbs).

The horn comes with the original recording bell plus a genuine H.N. White upright bell that I bought from Lee Stofer. Also included is a ProTec gig bag that fits the horn while it has the upright bell. I will work on taking some pictures and posting a dropbox link today. Because it's such a rare horn and it has both bells, I'm asking $5,699 or best reasonable offer. If you're interested in the horn with only the upright bell, I can bring the price down. I'm willing to drive a considerable distance to avoid shipping, but I can ship if needed.

If you have ANY questions about the horn, please email me at tylerferris1213@gmail.com. That is the fastest way to get ahold of me. Thanks for looking!

Bump! Picture link posted!

If I am logged into Dropbox it says your folder does not exist and takes me to *my* Dropbox home folder.

If I log out of Dropbox it tells me I have to have an account to view the folder. ("You must Log in or Register to view folder.") When I log back into Dropbox it tells me again that your folder does not exist.

I'm on it. I'll try posting another link now.

Having the same issues as Wade.

Okay, so Tyler has allowed me to host his photos. Here they are. I hope someone picks this up. I love these horns.

These are much larger photos. If you want to examine them at full resolution open them in separate windows. Usually, you can increase the size even further (to actual full-size) by clicking on the photo. You can also zoom in even more if your OS allows that.

I owned this horn before selling it to Tyler. I have some of-questionable-quality videos of it somewhere.

Bump! Shoot me an offer!

Bump for price drop!

Am I correct in remembering that these came in both 0.750 and 0.689 bore sizes? If so, which is this one? I'm afraid I'm not looking to buy, just curious. Thanks!

I will try to remember to measure it this weekend!

The .689 ones were the C's and the .750 ones were the Bb's. The Bb's are also considerably bigger than the C's. Ed
