In Reply to: ? value of 2 BBb tubas ? posted by Stew Taylor on July 14, 2001 at 21:35:46:
The value depends on the condition and what someone who may want it is willing to pay. The fact that they only have 3 valves keeps the value down, and recording bells aren't in as much demand these days, which could make it harder to sell the second one. I have seen tubas like the first one sell for anywhere from $500 to $1500. I have seen three valve compensators selling from $800 - $2000. These prices are based on observations of sales through auction sites, and retail stores, and through private sales in newspaper and online classified ads.
