- Kurath/Willson 5/4 bell fit to
- Martin "ultra 6/4" body
- 4 extra-large slant-design American-made .750" bore very open port long-stroke front-action pistons (would strongly recommend an "Anderson-Secrist" job just before final mounting)
- #1 slide already shortened to CC length and upwards oriented for hand operation
- .748" bore rotor - (my design: in front of #1 piston, but not actually in the mouthpipe)
- custom S-shaped mouthpipe
- custom main tuning slide with hand-made crook already constructed
- already shortened to CC
- no dents whatsoever
- plenty o' parts to finish (crooks / .750" bore inside-outside tubing / braces / etc.)
- tuba laid together and tacked but not braced
- 5th rotor trigger not yet constructed nor designed
- all clean raw brass, except valve section has some lacquer on the casings
- willing to (if desired by buyer) untack branches to (if possible) ship in a UPS-able carton

' will send to buyer several pictures of tuba laid together to assist in assembly, etc.

$2500

- far below monetary outlay, with nothing whatsoever added for many many many hours of time invested...I would estimate the completion amount at 80%. Potential buyers can judge for themselves from photo(s).

- all questions answered - if asked - by those seriously inquiring

- NOTE: have not played this instrument - not completed to playing stage

- no negotiating / no complaints / no returns
