There is someone on Facebook in the Netherlands selling a Holton 345 CC with a nice gig bag for €5,000 (about $5,500). It's a private Facebook group, but the seller's name is Roel Quaden and the group is the "Euphonium - Tuba - Low Brass Marketplace." Here is a link that may work if you are a member of that group: Link

Take a trip to Europe, buy a return seat for the tuba and maybe you're looking at $7,000 or so for a Rusk-cut BAT.

Hey hey, don't 'steal' all the interesting tuba's from Europe

I saw it for sale on another site as well, but with a "price on request"

I would say these are definitely much more rare in Europe! I am sure someone on your side of the pond will grab it before anybody over here does.

I was the one who brought it on the east side of the pond some years ago. A very fine instrument.

Sounds like an adventure -- care to share the tale, or was it pretty uneventful?

Nice looking gig bag!

Its from a custom gigbag maker in poland, Rafal Stencel
No first hand experience, but sure do look nice
