Tuba for sale - F Tuba 5V made by Peter Steiert, Freiburg

For sale is a 5 valve (four right hand and one left) tuba in F. It was made in Freiburg, Germany by Peter Steiert. The unique feature of this instrument is that the bell, bottom bow section and the leadpipe are removable. They are held together with an extremely well-made screw thread mechanism made of copper. The horn itself is raw brass and can be polished up nicely.

The horn plays well with the usual limitations of a German F. The bottom range will sound with a proper column of air, the C and below are not stuffy for this type of instrument. The middle and top are singing (I actually played Bydlo on it once, with a smaller mouthpiece). I will include a well-used but still serviceable blue gig bag with the instrument. I am selling because I returned to the trombone, my first instrument and no longer need this nice little F. The horn is located in Denton, Texas. A top tuba professional in Denton felt that the price/quality relationship was just about right for this horn. Please feel free to ask neccessary questions.
