This used Conn 5J began life as a BBb tuba, but it was cut down at some point to function as a CC tuba. We gave it a professional cleaning and precision valve alignment, and about 80% of the original lacquer remains intact. There are minor dents in the bell bow and elsewhere, as well as evidence of numerous repairs throughout, but none of it affects playability. This affordable, compact 4-valve CC tuba plays very well, with a strong low register, and it would make a fantastic pit instrument for Broadway shows. Comes with a gigbag and adjustable gap adapter.
