Hi all!
Time to clear out some of my extra toys...
Tubas:
older rudy meinl 3/4 cc 5 rotary valve has some laquer wear, and a few dings (none major or that affect how the horn plays) - valves have just ben re-done and are super smooth and tight with miniball linkages - valves are also vented for easy slide pulling - previous owner added a pull ring for the 3rd valve slide (i have not found any need for it) and amado water keys on the 3rd and 4th valve tubing for easy drainage - also has adjustable thumb ring - plays great and has really good intonation (is a bit moutpiece sensitive)
meinl weston 32 4/4 5 rotary valve cc is in pratically new shape - bell had some dents that the previous owner had rolled out at dillons - valves are in great shape with double uni-ball linkages and feel great (feel barely broken in) - horn has exceptional pitch - leadpipe is nickel silver - all valve slides are easy to reach with right hand, although i have found i only move the first valve slide a little bit
