WTB - Polka Tuba
I am recently retired and want to get back into playing tuba again. I'm looking for a good tuba for playing polka, preferably a Miraphone 186 or a King 2341. I can't afford a new one but have been looking seemingly everywhere for weeks without any luck. If you have one that suits the bill, please reach out to me. I appreciate the help! Go Tubas!!

Re: WTB - Polka Tuba
I have a York Master BBb with recording bell for sale here which has a large bore (.750”) and four valves for $2,500.
I have a Yamaha 103 in parts that I could fix up and get ready for you. I also have a couple King 1240s (the three valve version) with upright and recording bells… all of those for less than $1,000 each. I also have a project in the wings that will essentially be a 4-piston valve Miraphone 184 BBb.
