    Wow - that's one I should have noticed! The valves look to be in great shape, which is a huge factor. The horn has the medium receiver, which makes it even more special given the condition. Buy-it-now price is $2,250.

      This is my horn. I usually hang out on one of the other tuba forums. Happy to sell off eBay for $2,000 + shipping if I can avoid fees.

          Top of the heap in the NS line, IMO.

          A steal, too.
