Here's two that I think are pretty great, but I'm a little biased.
A 1924 Holton helicon:
A 6/4 Martin with Buescher valve set:
Absolute joy to play both.

Re: Alexander tenor tuba $750
So glad it's found a new home! Much better than sitting on a shelf at Martin's shop!

Re: Alexander tenor tuba $750
This little tenor tuba has just about been sold several times and then fallen through. Since it's several states away in Indiana at Martin's shop, I tend to forget about it. It's still available. It's playable as is and Martin is willing to clean it up to any level you'd like.

Amazing Grace
When I was just starting out on tuba almost 50 years ago, my first teacher put together an arrangement of Amazing Grace for tuba, piano and drums. We performed it at a church in rural northern Michigan. I've maintained a musical relationship with that teacher, William Hayes. For almost 25 years, we ...

Yes, it's still at Martin Wilk's shop and you can contact him about the horn.

Re: Alexander tenor tuba $750
I believe that was through my Macbook with a Beyerdynamic M88 mic. I no longer have that set up in my studio, so that's relying on my sometimes faulty memory.

(SOLD) Martin Wilk/Conn 5 valve Eb tuba
I am reluctantly selling this tuba built by Martin Wilk. I need to accept the fact that I could use the money more than I'm using the instrument.
If you know Martin's work, you'll understand the value of this horn. Very responsive, very in tune. Fun to play. Includes barely used Protec Platinum gig ...

Alexander tenor tuba $750
I own an Alexander tenor tuba that I've had in Martin WIlk's shop in southern IN for several years. I obviously have not missed it that much.
Here are a couple of videos of me attempting to play it, when I had it in my possession.

Re: WTB: Rotary Euphonium/Tenor Tuba
I admit Martin can be a bit hard to get in touch with. You probably called the number on his website, which is what I'd recommend over email.

Re: WTB: Rotary Euphonium/Tenor Tuba
I left a 4 valve older Alexander tenor tuba at Martin Wilk's shop some time ago. He still has it, as I never followed up with having him start cleaning it up and have kind of forgotten about it. You could ask him what he thinks it's worth and I'd probably sell it.
Here it is before I dropped it off ...
