My wife and I are expecting our first in early 2021 so she's "encouraged" me to part with some quality horns that I'm not using enough currently to justify holding on to.

2B - Vintage, late 40's I believe, H.N. White King 2b in nice shape. Plays very well; some typical shallow dents in bell, no apparent stocking wear on inner slide(!). I really like recording with this horn but I can't keep redundant horns to suit my mood at any given moment, or so my wife says :shuffle: . $1200 OBO

Eb Tuba - Besson Sovereign, 3+1 valve compensating. In excellent shape. Modern larger bell flare. Very in tune. Lacquer essentially 100% intact. If you're within a day's drive of Northwest Arkansas would prefer not to ship despite it having a nice condition hard case. This is the brass band tuba and great for quintet and solo stuff. $5750 OBO

Olds Studio - Mid 60's I believe. This think plays. gorgeous cut to the sound. Nickel plated bell is thick and this thinf projects almost angrily :evil: ... I love it. Slide isn't great but I don't care. It's fast even if it's not glassy. This is a workhorse and is great if you want to make sure you can be heard without killing yourself in a salsa, rock, or loud big band setting. $800 OBO

Humes & Berg Stonelined Sh! Sh! Practice Mute for Tuba great condition. These are apparently hard to find even online at this point. Works well and is in solid cosmetic and physical condition. $100
