Up for your consideration is a Rudy Meinl 5/4 CC tuba.

I have not owned this instrument for very long, but an opportunity has come up to purchase a horn I have wanted for quite some time, so I am reluctantly listing this one for sale.

This tuba was previously owned by the United States Air Force ...

You’re probably talking about Walter Hilgers tuba. The B&F. I spoke to a German gentlemen who’s father was a tuba player in the
