A lovely pair!

Band Supplies Leeds are also offering a smashing pair of Sovereign BE994 BBb 4 valve tubas in silver plate.

The tubas have been taken in part exchange and have been overhauled in their workshop to a very high standard.

Excellent condition

They are in excellent condition and being similar to the current model are the desirable shorter model so are more comfortable to play.

With original Besson hard cases with wheels in good condition and Wick mouthpieces they will be snapped very quickly.

Breath taking price!

Priced to sell at £3750.00 each including vat.

To register your interest please call the Leeds shop on 0113 2453097. Please note these tubas will be advertised elsewhere so be quick.
