The Adams 4/4 Tuba: Grace, Power, Effortless Response

This tuba is a new tuba that has gone to a show, and later, the bell was damaged in shipping. The bell damage has been professionally repaired. There is visible scarring on the bell. There is a small dent on one of the tubes going between pistons in the valve block area. There is also some light scuffing or light scratching at spots in the finish but nothing egregious. However, this instrument still plays amazingly with pure, rich, full Adams Tuba sound! If you have been in the market for an elite level tuba and want to save $4000 off the cost of new, this is your opportunity!  

We have learned a lesson though - we will not ship the tuba but will drive it to you anywhere within ~4 hours of Kansas City, Missouri.  

From Adams:

Adams tubas, handcrafted from plate, combine superb tuning and intonation with effortless response. Their comprehensive overtone spectrum ensures a rich and beautiful tuba sound throughout all registers. These instruments blend perfectly with any orchestral configuration and their firm and stable resonance and colors lend them a very vivid presence. They are the perfect tubas for ensemble players, yet they also have the grace and power to meet the exacting requirements of solo performers.
