I bought some mouthpieces from Steve before he closed the physical location. He told me Rose City instruments was interested in buying out the existing inventory and fixtures. He was liquidating tubas to be able to run the business out of his garage if needed.bort2.0 wrote: Tue Sep 29, 2026 9:13 pm So are they in business, out of business... I can't keep up. T

brick-and-mortar in SoCa...
crazy.
IF the store clears enough to pay the rent/property tax, "someone" will burn down the entire town anyway.

I could buy that and park it next to my apparently un-sellable BBb and have a display pair.

I believe that is part of the same order as mine - with gold brass bell. Seems it took them many years to fill the order of 5 tubas, IF I understood correctly.

BUMP for an excellent instrument. This instrument has a very unique sound. Good pitch and excellent low notes. This is a STEAL at $13K.
