WTB: 4/4 or larger 4v BBb tuba

Hi all,

One of my friends is in the market for a full-size, 4-valve BBb tuba. Would likely have to be within a several-hours drive of Connecticut or arrange shipping.

He has only been playing for a couple years, being primarily a bassist, and his first horn was a 3/4-sized Weril BBb. Time to move on up!

Please let me know if you have anything or any leads.

It is a bit of a drive but... Dillon recently listed a decent looking 186 for $3700.

Thanks. Dillon is a doable drive (+/- 3 hrs with traffic). I checked their site earlier today but missed that one.

I have an older B&S Rotary BBb for sale in the NE Ohio area that plays great. Can arrange shipping or pickup (I've shipped MANY horns). Reach out to jal280@uakron.edu for more info/pictures since I can't PM on this forum yet.

I think my friend has decided to go with that 186 at Dillon's, but I will send you an email if that ends up not being the case. Thanks!
