Hello. I am now possed with the option of optaining my own tuba for a very low price. $900 Canada. It is a 30 year old Imperial Boosey & Hawkes Tuba, 3 valve, BBflat 4/4 scale.
So far, I've played with it for about 6 hours, and i must say that it plays much better then my current Yamaha 641-bbflat. The valve action is much easier, and the tone is much sweeter. I was wondering if there was anything I should know about it/the model/ the company that might be cause for me not to buy it. I have spoke to my music teacher, and he tells me its a great deal. I am sure he will buy it if i dont. Any suggestions you could make would be greatly appreciated.
