I have an older Meinl-Weston 6-valve F tuba that I am interested in selling. I'm not sure of the model, but am guessing circa late 70s to early 80s. The fifth and sixth valves are 1/2 and whole step respectively. The horn is in good shape mechanically, though the lacquer is worn on about 30% of the instrument. I am the instrument repairman at Florida State, and decided to convert the old "S" mechanical linkages to nylon ball-sockets, and the action is quiet and quick. The instrument does have the usual pitch tendencies of the older Meinl Fs, but plays well. I am including the wooden flight case, which I will ship the tuba in. I'm asking $2,500, plus the buyer pays shipping. If you are interested, please email me at TubaMan246(AT)aol.com. I can provide pics if desired. Many Thanks! Tim
