.
This tuba has been professionally serviced and cleaned. Despite its well-loved appearance, it is squeaky clean inside and out.
.
The valves work smoothly and have good compression. The slides all move. The third valve slide is somewhat stiff to get in and out -keep it well greased and use firm steady pressure.
.
The cosmetic condition is what you see in the photos: lacquered brass finish is mostly gone, bell interior stripped of lacquer, small dents and dings, and evidence of prior repairs.
.
The compensating valve system allows this tuba to play very well in tune with a big sound.
