I found this on the Oberloh Brass Works site...
Alexander 163 CC 4 rotary valve Tuba: Been looking for a quality tuba that is truely, "hand made" well here is your opportunity. Originally purchased in 1967, from the factory, by a member of the Washington DC army band, "Pershings Own." With a bore size of .805, it has been played by it's original owner until his recent retirement from performing. With only minor dents (having been overhauled approximatly 4 years ago in our shop) one would be hard pressed to find a tuba of equal quality in such condition. This raw brass instrument has a modified receiver which accepts standard shank mouthpieces. Hard case and gig bag included.
$5,000
