FS/FT: Imperial Euro Shank

I ended up with two euro Imperial shanks. I would ideally like to trade one of them for an American shank. I would also be willing to sell one for $50 plus shipping. These are the stainless steel ones, not the new bronze ones. Also, willing to buy a stainless American Imperial shank. Located in ...

Re: Want Bell damage opinion from the pros

If I were seriously considering buying a BBb Alexander 163, I would be talking with@Mary Ann . If I am not mistaken, she currently has her price dropped to $6560 before she sends it to Dillon for consignment. Thay seems like a no-brainer to me. That tuba looks to be in incredible condition.

Re: Sousa Advice

If your current sousaphone isn't centering pitches as well as you would like, it sounds to me like there may be an issue that needs repaired. A King sousaphone should not be difficult to center pitches on. I would be suspicious of leaks, loose braces, or loose pistons. If all of that is fine it ...

Re: New Tuba Day - Meinl Weston 2145

Also, for anyone curious, I have MAW pistons in my 2145. The fingerbuttons are what Martin sent "stock" with the valves. When I ordered the valves, he didn't have the buttons I wanted so I just told him to send it with the "standard" buttons. I had no idea what they looked like. I thought I would ...

Re: New Tuba Day - Meinl Weston 2145

Thank you, tubatodd ! We had to remove the flange from the brass plate and grind the brass plate to fit the shape of the first valve tubing better. After that, we brazed it back together and formed the flange for the test fit. The thumb lever is the new style Willson lever. I just cut it to fit on ...

Re: New Tuba Day - Meinl Weston 2145

I also picked up a 2145 a while back. I modified a Willson thumb ring setup to fit my 2145. I LOVE it! I'll try to figure out how to post a picture of it later.

Re: Upright Bell for Martin Mammoth

I believe @Lee Stofer has one in stock. I think it was made from a Kanstul bell, but I'm not totally sure about that part.

Re: Is Tubenet busted?

I tried to recover my account, but that isn't working. I also tried to make a new account, but it just keeps refreshing the "I agree to these terms" page when I click "I agree to these terms" button. Fine. I'm much happier on tubaforum anyway!

I just tried to log in with my account. It says my account doesn't exist. It also says there are 0 registered users online at the bottom of the page. Maybe they got rid of all accounts?
