I now have photos available of this B-flat Willson I am trying to sell. I have posted one with my ad on bass clef brass, and have others available.
Here is a copy of the ad:
A large 5/4, rotary-valve, brass lacquered Willson orchestral B-flat. Bore 20,5 mm. 4 Rotax system rotary valves. In excellent condition with only a few minor marks from normal wear.
The price is $5000 in U.S. funds.
This tuba has the response, flexibility, weight and power of a large orchestral CC, but for a lower price than many other large professional horns. It has been played in many orchestras including the Berlin Philharmonic, The Frankfurt Opera, the Radio Orchestra Berlin, and the Montreal Symphony.
Located in Montreal, Canada. Email me for more photos and more information.
