** SOLD **
Here is terrific Besson 3+1 compensating Eb tuba from 1977. Very good original condition. Silver plate is intact except for one or two tiny spots. Valves and slides all work very well with good compression. Plays just like it should! Takes a "small Euro" shank mouthpiece. For example, the Wick 3 that I will include. Carriage rings and ball-buster are still present; they can (and should) be removed easily. Condensation gutter is present. Comes in a Reunion Blues bag from the San Francisco era. $3,000 takes it with free US shipping!

Beautiful tuba, great horn, great price, great guy, cool bag, good-looking valves, and a nice kitty!
I have its older sister in frosted/satin silver, otherwise I'd be all over this.
