I would like to speak to the 25J:
I purchased one fairly recently for the purpose of reselling. After spending about an hour playing it, I decided to KEEP it for MYSELF. This is a magnificent 6/4 4-piston BBb tuba with a larger-than-normal (.770") bore. There aren't very many upright bell versions of this instrument, much less with FOUR valves and in GREAT shape, like Steve's.
You should BUY this Elkhart-vintage jumbo instrument, before someone else (who is smart) does.
