In Reply to: Price Range for Conn Eb tubas? posted by Connelly on December 12, 2003 at 14:36:06:
Eb tubas tend to sell for less than their equivalent BBb counterparts. Dillon currently has an old 3 valve Conn Eb with a recording bell for $900. 4 valves, an upright bell, and gold plating will all add to its value, but how much is really up to you. Ultimately its value is what you are willing to pay for it, but I would guess that between $1500 and $2500 would be fair. Realize that these old "Monster" Eb's often had interesting intonation, but it really depends on the individual instrument.
