I've sent my Eastman 3/4 BBb to be sold on consignment at Baltimore Brass. Here's the link for photos and description:
https://www.baltimorebrass.net/index.php?cat=5

The horn is in great shape and plays very well in tune, with an easy low register. I think it would be a great horn for student through pro, especially for someone wishing for a full range tuba that is small and light (like a stand up trad jazz player). $3195.

Here are three videos of the horn in action:

Solid playing.
What is repair/maintenance history?

It's in excellent condition. No known repairs. Played very little. Chem cleaned by Baltimore Brass.

What you have there is a very nice instrument, and appears to be very much like a Yamaha YBB-621 (as is the JP179B).


I have a couple of Eastman knock-offs of the ultra-student (not nearly as nice as yours) Yamaha YBB-105 B-flat (only three valves, and top-action).
They have MTS cases with them, and are more appropriate for children who are beginners or for middle schools to purchase.

Still available. Maybe a good use for one of those stimulus checks? It'd stimulate my economy...
Happy New Year, folks.
