I purchased a Rudolf Meinl Tuba from Arnold Jacobs in 1978. It is a 3/4, 5 rotary valves and silver plated (Which is rare on Rudolf Meinl tubas.) I studied with him in the late 70's. I was going to purchase Fred Geibs Conn CJ5 but the night before Arnold called me a said that a very dear friend of Freds (one of Freds past students) wanted the Tuba. At my lessons Arnold would alway's demonstrate using the 3/4 Rudolf Meinl. After the Lesson he looked at me and said; "I really feel bad about Freds horn. If you like I will let you have my Rudolf Meinl for the same price." It is a beautiful tuba and plays great! This horn is in beautiful condition. No dents anywhere on the instrument. I have to sell this horn because of financial reasons. I still have my original sales receipt from Arnold. Do you know anyone that would be interested in this tuba or recommend some other boards where I could post this information. I am going to list it on ebay this weekend. Best Regards, Stacey
