I am the tuba player in the Houston Ballet Orchestra and would like to sell or trade an instrument.  
I have a Besson 981 EEb tuba, used only 2 months, with a hard case which I would like to sell or trade for a very good 5 or 6 valve F tuba.  (I sold my F tuba thinking I would have no trouble learning to play an Eb tuba.  I was wrong.  Habits die hard.)  My preference for an F tuba is the large bore Yamaha or the new Rose bell Mirafone.  Thanks and I look forward to hearing from anyone out there needing or wanting an Eb tuba (a really good horn actually).
