Hey all!
Just a forewarning; I am likely not going forward with this, as I love my CC tuba to death and it’s the standard, but I’m toying with the idea of switching to BBb and wanted to see what options there are. The horn I have is a handmade B&S 3198 in silver plate with nickel silver Meinl-Schmidt MAW valves made by Martin Wilk, titanium MAW stems, green aluminum finger buttons, black leather slide catches & hardware, and custom silver top caps on the valves (also made by Martin). Valves are all vented and slides 1, 2, & 4 are lapped. It is my favorite piston CC I’ve ever played
A big Meinl BBb would be killer but I’ll hear out other suggestions or offers, and I may just buy one outright for a low enough price. (Preferred). If anyone is interested, my gmail is jonathangdevs@gmail.com . Thank you!
