Here is a terrific Eb tuba from Yamaha. Four in-line, top-action valves that work beautifully. Silver plate, a few minor dents, no signs of previous damage, original case included. Great playing horn!

NOTE: I replaced these previous-owner photos with fresh ones from today.

Too many! And that VMI showed up today!...

(It needs some work but it is a nice horn. )

How much does this tuba weigh? These are great quintet horns! would it wotk in a community band?

This horn comes in at 17 lb 4 oz. I will let others chime in on the second question.

I owned it’s relative, the YEB-381, a 321 with a fifth valve add-on. It worked GREAT in brass choir situations and in community band playing. Sorry I sold it years ago for a FA horn…..ergonomics situation.

I would love to add a 5th valve to one of the YEB-321's! Some day...

This horn has a new owner! Sold.

My wife is very happy to hear that.

I've been pondering a return to Eb land. When this popped up in my own backyard, I was very tempted!

Congrats, Tom. The herd will be stronger and healthier for the thinning.
