I do too...

Once again, your guidance is on point.

I do hane an imperial but maybe I tried it with the wrong rims. I'll put those C4LA rims I own on it and give that a shot.

bloke,
Bach 22 is my go to testing mouthpiece and I didn't like it. Ironically, the guy I sold my blokepiece solo to said that the solo should work well on this horn. I've been too busy to catch up with him to test this theory.

Fixed. Thanks bloke.

Looking for something with a rounded rim and no larger than 32.3 mm inside diameter with American shank.
Full explanation: I recently acquired a 3/4 Weril BBb tuba and I'm looking for a mouthpiece for it. I recently tried a Mike Finn 2B on i and I liked it better than anything else I've tried on it ...

I recently purchased a Weirl 3/4 Bb which is reported to be the size of a Yamaha YBB-621. What is the best fitting bag for this instrument?

Any out there collecting dust?

Looking for a British baritone. Hoping to find something within a couple of hours drive of Cleveland Ohio.

I just sold a 3 valve Olds 099 because I wanted the 4th valve for better tuning the horn had one note (Gb) that I could not get in tune.🤣

If you have any pics of the horn, send ...

I need something smaller for church gigs, quintets and rehearsals. Trying to stay in the $1k - $2k range.

Bump

Yes, Uncle Beer, I mean the piston one. Thanks for the reply.

Question: I've seen a few of the video's of folks playing these tubas. Has anyone here played one and if so what are your thoughts? I see they are available online at Brook-Mays.

Looking for Houser 32.0 mm rims. Old or new style. If you have one in Lexan, you move to the top of the list .

I second Resilience Oil. Its the best I've ever used. I just purchased a quart from them.

Thanks for the replies. I figured it was an Olds O-99, but the other engraving had me scratching my head.

So, I bought a smaller tuba for band stuff and lighter gigs.

What is the model, and is there a meaning to the small engraving under the Olds logo?

Sold

Open to trades for mouthpieces with American shanks and cup inside diameters 32.3 mm or less.

This mouthpiece has been collecting dust for the last couple of years, so it’s time for it to go to someone that will use it. 2 piece version, no drops, or dings. Some light surface scratching on the rim…nothing you can feel while playing.

Price: $150 which includes USPS Priority mail shipping (U.S ...
