I am not entirely proud to have started this thread, as I obviously was fooled.
But then I would say, that the up-board thread on Yamaha BBb tubas took me to a photo of one from the 8xx range, that looked very similar to that of the present auction. Only the angle was different.
I recently bought an Alexander G descant horn with optional F extension off German eBay. The seller was a rude communicator, but the instrument was OK as was the price. The auction pics were in the same format as that of the present Eb auiction. And they had no resemblance at all to the Alexander homepage pic of the similar F descant model.
Whether the present seller has made a mistake or just has taken a tuba pic available to him in digital format is beyond me. But it hardly is a Yamaha factory pic.
