Hi all,
I have a Besson bell front 3 valve compensating tuba I'm thinking of selling. It was made in the '30s and is in pretty good shape and weighs a TON! The satin silver is probably 80% and is largely tarnished. It has all the usual dings a 70 year old horn would have, but no real constricting dents. The bell is removable and is HUGE! The slides are mostly stuck, but the valves are free and seal pretty well with heavier oil. I'd like to get $1200 (plus shipping) or BEST OFFER. I'll also include a Denis Wick "3" mpc with the appropriate shank (small) with the horn.
Thanks,
LV
P.S.: The instrument is located in S.E Michigan.
