Tuba double at John Packer

There is a fantastic chance to get your hands on a great tuba bargain at John Packers at the moment.

John Packer tubas
 

John Packer Ltd is boasting the new arrival of two new tubas to their second hand department.

Imperial

The first is a fantastic Boosey & Hawkes BBb 3 valve Imperial tuba in bright silver plate.

The instrument is in good condition, with just the usual small dinks and dents due to its age. It’s a full size 3 valve BBb tuba and would be an ideal player in any band.

It comes at the equally fantastic price of £1250, including a hard case.

Sovereign

The second is instrument is a brilliant Besson BE992 BBb 4 valve Sovereign tuba in silver plate.

Sovereign tubas have been used by so many bands over many decades, and these rarely come up for sale second hand — so be quick to grab this one!

It’s in good order with only the usual small dinks and comes in at a great price of £4850 including hard case.
