Tuba for sale - 1958 Alexander 163 BBb for sale

There are no pictures available for this tuba

Hallo everyone,

I'm selling my 1958 silver 4 valve Alex 163 BBb

Just to make this clear up front, this is not some trailer queen, rather a well used, but still excellent playing example that has many orchestra seasons left in it.

Having been in regular service for over 50 years, it has its fair share of scratchs, dents and dings, however the valves were recently rebuilt+new minibal links and they still feel quite new.

Please write me for photos

The sound is very alive and resonant, and the intonation is mostly free of intonation quirks. The only pitches that require alternate fingerings are the D and Db in the staff. Instead of 0 and 2nd, I use 12 and 23. Like most big rotary BBbs, I pull the 4th slide for low B and low E.

Included is its original grey gigbag.

The tuba is located in Berlin, Germany and you are very welcome to come test play it.

$4500 USD (3400�)
Thanks for looking and please contact me if you have any questions.
Ciao!
