I have to finally come out of the closet. Over the past year I have activated on my desire to play the saxophone, and now own 3 saxes. My pride and joy is a bass saxophone that I salvaged from becoming a planter. At one time it had been run over by a truck. I took the horn apart de dented it (sort of), got all the keys working, put on new springs, pads, etc. and have been enjoying playing it ever since.
With that said, I haven't touched my tuba in a while and have decided to sell it. It is a BBb 3 valve compensating Boosey and Hawkes Imperial, satin silver. Asking price is $975. Info on it can be seen at http://community.webtv.net/guspratt/TUBA
Also at that webpage you can see a photo of me playing my bass sax, and also playing a contrabass sax that stands 7 foot tall.
