Hello again,
Due to my financial need to pay for my new (hopeful) Buescher/Dillon CC tuba, I'm forced to sell my YCB-822S. I bought this horn last December. 4 piston, 1 rotary valve in silver. Serial number is 100009, making it the 9th 822 that was made, so it is also a handmade tuba. Custom work at Dillon Music includes Adjustable Gap Receiver, all 4 piston valves vented, and the thumbring has been removed (I still have it). Cosmetically pretty sound, does have a few minor dents as would be expected. Price is $6,000 plus shipping, but I'm going to be negotiable on this. I live in Syracuse, NY and will welcome anyone to come and try it out.
Thanks in advance,
Andy Smith
